Go with me on my ride across the U.S.

I am riding my bicycle at least 100 miles in each of the 50 states.

Sherman Oaks, California: January 9, 2010

I had a good ride with Wayne Williams, a friend here. We rode the streets where all the traffic lights are for a good portion of the ride…stop and go…from his home to Mt. Griffith Observatory Park. The traffic lights really slow the speed. We also rode on the “best bike path ever.” It would have been good to have “opened it up” on that part of the ride. Lots of bike riders in the area.

There was an article in the L.A. Times of great interest to the area cyclists, as well as cyclists everywhere. A doctor has been harassing cyclists here by riding in front of them and slamming on his brakes. A couple of cyclists were injured as a result…he was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Local cyclists were hoping for 8 or more.
