I had mentioned earlier that the LACBC was working with the Bike Oven and the Los Angeles Department of City Planning to send in a proposal to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to be awarded a “PLACE” grant.
Well, I slacked on the proposal writing, and the due date (Tuesday, November 13, 2007) didn’t leave me much time to work on the proposal.
So, that’s it. We gave up. No more grant writing, no money, nothing.
I am so depressed.
Seattle memorial for cyclist Bryce Lewis, who died Sept. 7, when he was struck and killed by a garbage truck making a right turn through a bike lane. Photo: Alan Berner for the Seattle Times.
Both Seattle and Portland are a very bike friendly towns. But in the past 2 months, both cities have had tragic truck vs. bicycle related deaths, and strangely both happened in the same manner. Both incidents were caused by garbage trucks turning right on a green light across bike lanes. Both times riders crashed into the trucks. There was a memorial ride in Seattle.
If it can happen in a bike friendly town, better watch your ass here… where they don’t even think we should be on the streets….
Ride safe, be careful out there.

Meet at the corner of Figueroa and York in Highland Park at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 10, 2007. We’ll ride to several galleries and one or two alternative art-filled areas of the neighborhood, and then return to the Bike Oven (3706 N.

The show at the Bike Oven will feature the work of over ten artists, in a number of genres.
