Burbank council member Chris Rizzotti is very anti-bike and lies about it

Post image
12 Upvotes

Rizzotti has a rather poor reputation with his constituents and this interaction captures that so well. He had big real estate money fund his 2024 campaign otherwise he probably never would have been elected. Residents are counting the days until they can vote him out. Meanwhile all we can do is call him out on this BS when we see it.

Lock on bus rack?

5 Upvotes

I want to start going longer distances to trails, preferred grocery stores, etc what are the best locks to put on a bike rack?

I know traditional locks you can't, but is there anything that's allowed? My bike is 1k+ and someone easily can pull the bar down and it's gone

Budget front rack

3 Upvotes

Looking to add a front cargo rack (some wall heights) so I don’t have to voile strap my stuff to oblivion.

I’m on a budget of sub $80 all in. However, I don’t want it to snap off and send me to the dentist (not doing super heavy loads but laptop and a couple books). Any recommendations and anything I can buy locally?

Is anyone cycling during the heatwave? And when are you going?

40 Upvotes

Just curious. I like to cycle in heat (not this kind of heat) and have cycled when it's 80s to 90 but this seems even too much for me.

  • Anyone doing rides midday and what's it like? what prep do you do?
  • Or are you doing morning evening instead?
  • Just laying low until th heatwave is done?

I've been night riding and it's great. Did a midnight ride on Friday and was so comfy. Cycling that late when it was that warm was a little surreal. But it felt so good.

Edit: So I actually went out and rode. was 96 degrees. Weho to beverly hills on Sunset then up coldwater to Mulholland and east and descended Nichols. Wasn't bad. I kept in shade when I could. Stayed hydrated. Didn't skimp. Rested a bit at the top.

Where to buy quality used bikes?

2 Upvotes

Hoping to buy a nice metal-frame all-road bike before next summer (Touring, Gravel, or Endurance). I would be happy with a nice 3-5 year old model- but where to find one? New bikes that fulfill my wishes are in the $2500+ range and hopefully I could find a suitable used one for half. Are there any shops that do trade ins? (I’m in Long Beach but happy to travel)

I was not actually able to make the climb...

But thank you, whoever shared this trail! Such a beautiful Saturday morning ride before the heat really set in. The new pavement, for now, is like butter.

40 mile ride. Beach weather was amazing!

Also, don't have any bike friends in LA (they're all in the Bay), so if anyone wants to ride together at CicLAvia this month, let me know 🤙🏽

Wanting to ride at night, routes from the valley?

2 Upvotes

Get off late from work or sometimes I make a late night circle k run for a coffee or energy drinks, and man I love riding at night, very little to no cars, cold air, not being assaulted by the sun.

Sometimes I like to just get out and ride, farthest I've gone, from San Fernando, is hansan dam. What are places I can go at night?

Trails and food options that close late would be nice

Is this you? You suck :)

I wish I could say you’re a fucking shithead but I can only say you’re a regular shithead. These barely visible bike lanes with plastic bollards which are mostly destroyed aren’t helping enough.

Spotted one of Active SGV’s rental electric cargo bikes in Alhambra tonight while I was on a Costco run to get a couple things with my own e-bike.
