Sharrows... Finally.
I forgot to post this last week. I had to take a different route to work on tuesday last week, (running an errand) and choose to take 4th street across the city. 4th st, is kind of the unofficial, official bike blvd, of Los Angeles. It crosses the whole city, no real traffic on it super wide, nice scenery, (trees and cool houses and shit) So I was taken by surprise when I found Sharrows on it. (at least the start of 4th street) While this great for LA and I fully support it, I just wish the Sharrows being put down in the city, at first be put on major streets, DTLA, Hollywood, my commute to the wesside, etc... I don't understand why the first streets to get them are streets that are already known as "the bike blvd" or fountain? Streets that are highly used be cyclists, kind of don't need them. It's awesome that is being done, and want to see the city covered in them...

Fast Forward: Guess who won.....
Wow. What a weekend... Greg, myself and the lil homie Roger, rode out to Encino early Saturday, to take the training class, just before the Fast Forward event. It was alot of fun, and got Greg ready for what was about to happen later that day. I must say this was a really well done event, big thanks to Encino for letting us have it there, huge thanks to Dustin (Cadence) and DVS for putting it on. Good Job homies! Big props to Jack for coming out and smashing on everyone.... I love that you're gonna be holding it down for LA in SF. Props to Woody for getting second, and big ups to everyone else who raced!! What an awesome day, I'm still recovering...
