Bike Week LA 2014
Los Angeles has more to offer this week than record high temperatures and Santa Ana winds. May 12 – 18 is Bike Week LA 2014! All week long, Metro is sponsoring events all around town to show the community how feasible it is to commute by bike. The week kicked off Monday with an event […]
It Sure Is Great!
Don’t you agree?
CicLAVia: Iconic Wilshire Blvd. – 4/6/2014
CicLAvia–one of my favorite events in Los Angeles! Today’s event was Los Angeles’ ninth installment of the car-free event. Wilshire Blvd. was closed to vehicle traffic from Miracle Mile to the Financial District. Thousands turned out with bicycles, skateboards and roller blades. There were several designated walking areas for those who wanted to enjoy the […]
This Weekend: Giving the Streets Back to Foot and Bike Traffic
If you live or play anywhere near Mid City, do yourself a solid and abandon your car this weekend. Giant portions of major throughways throughout Los Angeles will be shut down for special events. This means massive headaches for drivers. Expect delays that make you with the President was in town. Saturday, the Hollywood Half […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I began the day expecting to get pinched, but it seems nobody else on the bus got the memo either. So instead, I grabbed a bunch of green balloons from the theme party thrown by my job. Lookie there, the Pershing Square fountain is green for St. Paddy’s Day! Did you know the Pershing Square […]
Should Bicyclists Need a License?
This morning I was a block from home on my ride to work. I was going down a small, yet steep hill with an immediate right turn at the bottom. I had to quickly dart out of the way of another cyclist who was riding down the wrong side of the street. On my ride […]
Surf’s up, brah!

I enjoyed being able to wake up without an alarm and enjoy a workout and breakfast every morning without rushing. Sure, I missed out on beach days and BBQs on Saturdays, but it […]
The Sky is Falling
Today was the first significant rainfall that the drought-stricken Southland has seen in months. In fact, this is the first significant rainfall I experienced since ditching my car. What’s a girl to do? Get a little wet, I suppose! I was on the verge of ordering a Lyft to get to work today. The thought […]
Chinese New Year and the Golden Dragon Parade
Happy Lunar New Year everyone! If you were anywhere near Chinatown this weekend, hopefully you were able to catch some of the festivities. On Saturday I biked to Chinatown with my friend, Ashley, for the 115th Annual Golden Dragon Parade. Luck was on our side as we snagged prime real estate near the end of […]
Broadway’s Proposed Facelift
Downtown has undergone some rapid changes. I’ve been in LA for nearly seven years now. Back then, DTLA seemed to me to be a dismal place. Maybe that was in large part just my perception, but nobody will deny that the gentrification bug has bitten hard. I believe there are always pros and cons to […]
