I was the main camera person on this, but kudos to Rachel Reyes and @ohaijoe.bsky.social for making the video sing!

Second to last #DLineDash video: silver medalist Rachel Reyes’ journey. The race pitted a subway rider vs. a driver vs. a cyclist in a 7-mile commute from Beverly Hills to downtown LA!

Biggest thing I’m learning from producing and repeatedly watching these videos is how great LA is for having viable transpo options. Sometimes I want to drive and hear a podcast. Sometimes I avoid my car at all costs and hop the train. Most times I want to bike and burn off some steam (& calories)

Who do you think won the #DLineDash?!?!

Take a ride or walk on Santa Monica’s “MANGo” Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway

Tired of those worst-intersection tournaments? Here’s a nomination for the best intersection in So Cal - at least bike-wise!

My daughter likes these Santa Monica bike lanes, too. It feels like the city is doing a lot of smart targeted projects to make many locations/corridors safe to bike - and many of these are close to Metro stations! Kudos to Santa Monica!

Highly recommend taking a Metro + bike ride to Santa Monica for the day. Really enjoyed shooting this one!

How to get free bike/walk/transit stuff! Lessons from #LongBeachCA

Long Beach lines up a row of traffic circles - plus other bike stuff - to create a #BikeBoulevard: a fairly calm street safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers #BikeLB #LongBeach #LongBeachCA

A few So Cal cities line up mini-roundabouts into a traffic-calmed #BikeBlvd. Long Beach does it better than most cities.

Famous #LongBeachCA firsts! Intro video for a short series about some great #LongBeach bike/walk/transit stuff

What’s a modal filter? And what’s it doing in my bike boulevard?

We aim to be informative and entertaining and short. I think our armadillo vid was slightly more entertaining - but I like everything @ohaijoe.bsky.social has done for SBLA! bsky.app/profile/stre...

Take the subway from #BeverlyHills to #DTLA in 20 minutes, starting Friday May 8!! 4 new miles, 3 new stations!

The D Line Extension to Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega opens...

I think this is our most fun video so far, and still informative, no?

Streetsblog travels to #CulverCity and #DTLA in search of armadillos! #bikela

Looks like Metro D Line subway extension to Beverly Hills is delayed. Was going to open in February/March, but testing hit a snag

Some basic advice for locking your bike. Make sure to use a strong lock to lock the frame! Suggest cable lock for wheels. Even for well-locked bike, don’t leave out overnight.
