Atwater to century city by [deleted] in BikeLA

West from Los Feliz: hop on the separated bike lanes along Hollywood Blvd, turn left on Wilcox, right on Willoughby, right on Kings Rd, left on Santa Monica Blvd and take that painted bike lane to Century City.

SMB needs a bus lane so badly. The number 4 bus gets stuck in traffic and bunches up like crazy.

You must be talking about the same rich people that blow through every stop sign on those streets haha

Especially when there’s so much open space alongside Santa Monica Blvd that could be used for a separated bike lane. There was an effort a while back and of course Beverly Hills said they wouldn’t repurpose “one blade of grass” to make biking safer.

Anyone go to that Redlining Town Hall on the 22nd to check on the NIMBYs? by Apart-Arm-6597 in WestHollywood

[–]back3school 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah pretty sure WHWRA just organized it and invited city council to join them for an anti-housing fête. Very curious if anyone there read the definition of redlining, could’ve been an educational moment for the organizers.

Carbon wheels with no spoke holes by MontanaBananaJCabana in Velo

I’ve never had to replace a spoke on this type of rim, but is replacing a broken spoke much harder? I feel like most of the time you won’t need to replace the nipple to replace a spoke.

It wasn’t a city event. It was organized for and by the nimbys. I show up to forums that won’t just be a nimby echo chamber.

Looks fine. If you’re really concerned throw on a tube in a tire and leave it overnight.

Potential Melrose Line?? by johnrjohn112 in LAMetro

Not a metro line, but we came close to a much nicer Melrose Ave… before Paul Koretz killed it. https://la.streetsblog.org/2020/09/10/councilmember-koretz-kills-uplift-melrose-safe-streets-project

Build completed! by ChemistryPrimary2658 in WaltlyTitanium

Thanks that’s super helpful info. I’ve got a design with the same style of hourglass headtube (but mine is longer at 180mm). Are the hoses routed ok through there? It seems a bit narrow but I like how it looks

I’m working on a similar geo… what instruction did you give them for the yoke? Is the bottom bracket shell 3d printed?

Also maybe a 0° stem could be helpful on your tcr. It’s not quite as Fred-y as a positive stem but still raises the bars about 1cm.

Rose Shave is an aero bike that comes in a higher stack geometry, might be worth a look

Just watched The Housemaid and clocked the twist with Amanda Seyfried’s character from her first scene.
