This article hit me especially hard after experiencing LA cycling at Bike!Bike! this year: https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a23566413/los-angeles-is-the-worst-bike-city-in-america/

I was impressed with Ciclavia but after spending the last next week with my friend in West LA (traveling soley by car) I saw how the city is designed completely around cars. The legislative battles in the article are particularly discouraging.

What do others think about how LA is doing as a bike city?
