Bike culture in LA is clashing with Car culture...
Submitted by Wild Johnny on Wed, 07/09/2008 - 14:34.On July 4th, in an annual ride which attracts hundreds of cyclists in Los Angeles, two cyclists - excellent road racers I'm told - were apparent victims of road rage. The driver in the car was an ER doctor, who according to witnesses, yelled at the cyclists then cut them off, and then slammed on the brakes in front of them.
The road where the cyclists were hit has become quite attractive to cyclists in recent years. Needless to say, these are dangerous times in LA, as car culture meets bike culture. see the story on the attached links....

Submitted by Wild Johnny on Wed, 01/02/2008 - 17:51.I was entertained at the Revolution Cafe in San Francisco at Bike Culture night by Mafi and Fossil Fool while visiting the bay area for the holidays.

Thanks Fossil!Pics and videos to be posted soon.
