Los Angeles Chapter Leaders Practice Winning
/by ZacStarting Friday night, October 14 and all day Saturday, about 16 leaders from the local chapters of the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition attended our Winning Campaigns Training.

Welcome Vijay Talada to the CA Traffic Control Devices Committee
/by ZacCaltrans HQ just announced the appointment of Vijay Telada, the new head Editor for California’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and the executive for the Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

The Untokening Next Step in Transportation Justice
/by ZacFor too long, bicycle advocacy has been dominated by white middle class men. The advocacy agenda has for the most part reflected the interests of this narrow subculture. It’s limited our success and, in our increasingly diverse nation, such exclusion will halt progress completely. Other voices have been included, especially in the last decade, but […]
Caltrans Action Alert
/by ZacIt’s not too late to sign the petition calling on Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty to show leadership and ensure that Caltrans creates strong traffic analysis guidelines that pave the way for bike- and pedestrian-friendly streets. Caltrans needs to stop catering to the cars that zip through our neighborhoods, and instead prioritize safety and access for all street […]
