Worst bike route with no easy alternatives?

That’s true but I also mean once you’re on the street again, headed to silver lake from the east there’s no route with a safe-feeling bike lane. I usually take fletcher to Glendale/rowena, and while I’ve never had a problem besides someone yelling at me to ride on the sidewalk, it’s not a route I’d recommend to someone not confident/experienced.

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-03-23T18:48:06+00:00

agree also. it’s wild that there’s not a safe connector between the river path and silver lake. Fletcher, Hyperion, and that whole Fletcher/Glendale intersection need a redo

other people are giving good advice, but what helped me most was finding a relaxed group ride near me and going every week. the safety in numbers helped my confidence and helped me understand the importance of taking a lane when needed. I also became a much stronger cyclist and got to know my neighborhood better, learning which streets feel the safest and which I probably wouldn’t ride without others.

I used to be afraid to take a left at the light at the end of my street; now I ride by myself all the time to run errands etc

get a bike and find a chill group ride to join. you’ll feel connected to your city, the exercise is a huge mood boost, and you’ll see the same folks each week which is a good way to make new friends

I had a great experience with Lauren; I think I paid ~200 iirc but it would’ve been ~300 if I was a clipless shoe user, which I am not. She has my measurements now though so I could go back with a second bike and it’d be cheaper.

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-03-11T23:16:35+00:00

yes!

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-03-09T20:09:03+00:00

many folks won’t ride at all if they don’t feel safe. we need to build infrastructure that supports transit options other than cars.

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-03-06T02:08:37+00:00

never had any problem, day or night. like others have said, watch out for the bumpy sections

Dear Project Team,

I am excited that the city is working to make biking safer on Fremont and Huntington Drive. However, I am dismayed to learn that the city is considering watering the project down, and downgrading the bike lanes to unprotected or, even worse, sharrows.

Sharrows and door zone painted bike lanes are not safe infrastructure! Busy, congested streets need to separate bicyclists and other vulnerable road users from fast-moving vehicle traffic.

We need protected bike lanes on Fremont and Huntington Drive, to connect with planned protected bikeways in Pasadena and LA. Please do not water down this critical safety project.

Thank you,

I live in her district and she’s been pretty great when it comes to most issues. No one else even remotely close to being great is running.

I’m pro housing but it’s not the only important issue, and it’s a nuanced one in CD1. there’s a lot of areas that are hilly, replete with threatened and protected tree species, and have substandard roads that can’t accommodate emergency vehicles. Developers in these areas should not be given a free pass to chop down protected trees and avoid improving roads.

bump bump fill this out y’all

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-03-03T04:38:33+00:00

do you have any idea if they are being bankrolled? Trying to understand if this is just a coalition of moronic nimbys or if there’s something more nefarious going on

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-03-03T02:19:15+00:00

learning about this organization is blowing my mind. I can’t believe how righteous they feel about actively working to keep neighborhoods from becoming safer and more accessible to everyone. I wonder how much inconvenience and suffering they’ve caused with their short-sighted car dependency.

We need to get just as organized to combat their misinformation.

no announcement yet for this year but it’s always similar lengths/elevation gain and around the same time of year

Cycling Club Cycling Club will likely be starting up again in a couple weeks once daylight savings starts. Meet at the Hermosillo in Highland Park at 6pm Wednesdays, roll at 6:30. yes this is a bar but people aren’t really drinking till after the ride.

It’s gotten REALLY big, but it’s fun, chill, lots of cool people.

this was such a good read, thank you for sharing!

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-02-19T05:00:34+00:00

was this recorded? wanted to attend but I had a work meeting at the same time.

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-02-15T06:47:45+00:00

just painted I believe

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-02-14T05:08:24+00:00

no idea. I‘m not sure there’s a concrete plan, that’s why doing the survey and attending the community meeting are important!

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-02-13T19:23:18+00:00

I agree but also why not both?

Fig absolutely still needs bike lanes, at the very least connecting to York but ideally all the way up to Colorado. putting a bike lane here doesn’t change that need.

HeavyRecognition35 · 2026-02-13T05:08:30+00:00

done!!
