It's actually very bike-friendly. Go just about anywhere with bike on Metro Red, Blue, and Green Lines, and DASH. Put yer bikes on buses and go. In some parts of L.A., i.e. Compton, South-Central, Pico Rivera, it's probably a whole lot safer on bikes, looking like the locals, than a snazzy, high-dolla Lexus. But, watch out for that closed gate at midnight in Griffith Park. I nailed one. Flipped over and broke my helmet, instead of my head. I used to bike L.A. It's actually very bike-friendly.

There were 144 bike co-ops across the US and Canada at last count. Check out www.bikecollectives.org for more about how we coordinate with each other, share information, and grow the movement. We get together annually for a conference called bike!bike!, and we're adding a few regional conferences in 2009 (see: www.bikebike.org and southeast.bikebike.org). Peace to Street Films and everyone sharing bike repair everywhere. Fantastic! There were 144 bike co-ops across the US and Canada at last count.

No statistics, but here's a list of bike co-ops and collectives across the US and Canada: http://www.communitycycles.org/links.html Los Angeles has a lot, but so do San Francisco, Denver, Chicago/Evanston, Boston's suburbs, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Madison, and, as if you couldn't guess, Portland. Bike co-ops all over this land! You piqued my curiosity, so I went looking for info.

I keep watching it and re-watching it to make sure that L.A. really is this good for bicyclists. None of these places gets money from the government. We don't need to beg or hold fundraisers. We're organic and grassroots, and we are alive because of the vitality of our volunteers and the the bike community that we serve. Thanks again for making this movie!
