>> But be careful biking in Beverly Hillls, where cops side with SUVs, not bikes. Zach of LAist also notes that Beverly Hills is 1st in the State of California for pedestrian deaths for a city of its size.

Update, 9/8/07: Beverly Hills Police meet with cyclers.
Used bikes–pretty much all we ride. My husband is an avid and competitive cyclist, so we have quite a few. But he buys the frames and most of the components on eBay, with the result that he gets exactly what he wants for a fraction of the price at a local bike store. It may not be the newest and snazziest, but that’s not what we’re after.

With Bikerowave and the Bicycle Kitchen, it’s easier than ever for would-be bikers in the LA-area to DIY their way to an inexpensive refurbished bike :)

very happy about the silver lake DASH service, even though i’m not in the neighborhood anymore. it really needs to be easier to get around the reservoir without a car.

I’ll second the recommendation for Bikerowave. Those guys and gals rock. They helped me put together my xtracycle (http://www.xtracycle.com/) on a used bike I bought outside Trader Joe’s. Fun to do the work yourself (with expert guidance) and definitely worth supporting.
