Lifelong bicyclist, editor of BikinginLA.com, and notorious pro-biking advocate. Type 2 diabetic with a debilitating form of neuropathy, husband and corgi dad. I admire, not the ones who have never fallen, but those who always get up.

Just saw Citizen video of the aftermath of a motorist vs. bicycle crash at Sunset and Detroit a little before 4 pm. Police blocked off the entire street on Detroit, which usually indicates a very serious crash.

Not only did I just have the best conversation I’ve ever had with an Uber driver, but after he dropped us off, I saw him get out of his car to help a little old lady get in, and gave her a hug first.

I'll be back to our regular morning update on Wednesday, if drivers will just stop killing us. And let's reform California laws to give prosecutors the option of charging hit-and-run drivers with 2nd degree murder.

Oh, nothing. Just another SoCal bike rider murdered by a hit-an-run driver. I would literally rather write about anything else, just like I'm sure you'd rather read it. So no morning links on Tuesday, so I can write about it. Can I scream now? I want to scream now.

I had a bad reaction to Moderna's flu/covid vaccines and have been down for the count for the past 24 hours, so no morning update for Thursday. Yet these damn SoCal drivers won't stop killing us long enough to let me lie in my own damn misery.
