    yah, they do :) was just in LA, needed to give a shout out to my homies that are telling me they are getting on the bicis and ridin' around. this is encouraging, whereas in norcal, i feel that we have a little more support, but i do know that is not true in all parts of the yay.

    CycLAvia was practically mythical in its awesomeness! Organizers estimate 100,000 angelenos turned out for it. HUGE success.

    I made two roundtrips along the route and admit I got a touch choked up on several occasions because it was just about the most beautiful expression of community in Los Angeles I've seen in a long time.

    On the last trip back along the 7.5-mile route, I made a timelapse video of the trip:

    I was directed to this blog when one of it's writers or contributors saw me at the NoHo Metro stop after CicLAvia and commented on the homemade camera mount I'd made for the front of my bike! Cool blog!

    I wanted to note that whereever you got that image of the route from is old because the final route had 3-4 additional car crossings in it.

    But whatever, CicLAvia made me laugh and tear up with joy it was so much fun!
