pictured locations on this site ... these segments will be uploaded to YouTube
shortly)
(left) Manhattan
Beach, facing South
towards Palos Verdes hills peninsula. There is a bike trail that hugs
the coastline. This place is roughly 7 miles from my house in Gardena.
Bike-travel-time: < 0.5 hrs (one-way) . You can see my bike -- which
I exclusively use for transportation -- has been revamped quite a bit.
I
added a cycle computer to track speed and miles (and calories burned).
Lot's of safety features added, too, such as white and red LED-based
head- and tail-lights; they blink like a Christmas tree! This sound
nuts
... but LA traffic is nuttier. That said, the public transportation system
in LA is excellent; one can take bikes on buses and trains. Visit
my newly-created bicycle commuting,
touring camping and safety site for more information.
