Unbelievable. Louisiana town bans walking and bicycling from 11 pm to 4 am. Because evidently, people who don't drive have nowhere to go at night.

- I can see why so many people say Los Angeles will never become a bicycling city. I mean, who'd want to ride on a day like this, with its perfect sunny, 70° weather when you could be stuck in traffic in your hermetically sealed SUV? Just awful!
- Hollywood producer Bob George killed by dooring in on Fountain Ave in East Hollywood/Silver Lake Tuesday; 10th SoCal bicycling death in 13 days:
- OMG. You can slam a truck into a group of people riding bicycles, killing two and injuring 19 others, and walk without any fucking charges.
- This is who we share the road with.I have something to admit. Cyclists make me irrationally angry. Why do they bike on the street during rush hour traffic. I hate you. So much.
- I ride my bike for recreation. I ride my for transportation. I ride my bike for fitness. I ride my bike to improve my health. I ride my bike to maintain my sanity. I ride my bike for fun. I ride my bike so you have less traffic and cleaner air.
- .@MayorOfLA just announced that beg buttons are being disconnected in pedestrianized areas to provide automatic walk buttons. About damn time. Now let's make it permanent, and everywhere.
- With LA gas prices over $5 a gallon — and approaching $7 in some places — thank God the city is building out the bike and mobility plans it passed a decade ago to give Angelenos safe, efficient alternatives to driving. Wait. What do you mean they aren't?
- Why are cars that can travel over 100 mph even legal on public streets?
- Always gets me when people say this road or that one is too dangerous for someone on a bicycle, and their solution is to ban bikes instead of making it safe for everyone.
- If you find yourself alone on Christmas Day, get on your bike and ride. It's a magical day for a bike ride. No traffic, the streets are festive, and almost everyone you see is full of good cheer — even drivers. You'll be amazed what it does for your mood.
- My God. Just saw a text from the @latimes saying the a-hole who killed four Pepperdine sorority sisters on PCH was driving 104 mph at the time of the crash. That killer highway needs to be redesigned now so speeds like that are no longer possible.
- When I am killed riding my bike — because these days, it feels more like when than if — I want you to use my death to fight like hell for change on the streets, and in city hall.Oh god, this is horrible news. @darsal was a devoted advocate, a true public servant. bit.ly/2UMze3w
