So, I did bring my camera along for one of my rides this past weekend and took pictures of some of the bike paths that could have been, er, bettered planned around San Pedro. I haven’t taken pictures of what I consider to be the worst bike paths in SP, but I like building up the anticipation. I will be posting pics shortly.
Anyways, none of the bike paths in SP can compare to what is happening over in some parts of Long Beach (just across the bridge from SP). Check out the Stupidest Bike Lane in Long Beach post over at Long Beach Cyclists.
I laughed so hard I started crying. Folks, this is the state of biking round the LA Port area. But you know what – I see more and more folks out on their bikes every time I go out (including more women, hurray!) proving that stupid bike lanes be damned. We like riding our bikes too much.

Howdy, I’m Opus the Witch on a Bicycle. I have a bike safety blog over on MySpace. I see you complaining about the funny bike lanes/paths you have and I just have to laugh. Compared with us your bike infrastructure is heaven. Here in Big D we have 0 miles of bike lanes, our bike paths either are loops around parks, or start in one park and end in another and pretty much bypass any interesting and/or commercial destinations in between, in other words linear parks connecting 2 other parks.
