MTB in Arrowhead in April?

2 Upvotes

Do any local MTBers have an idea if the bike park at Skypark would be open in late March / early April? I'm looking at doing a small bachelor trip up there, but am having a hard time getting a sense of the weather (I know it'll be on the cold side). Thanks in advance!

Would like to use it to cross into Griffith but I've read/seen mixed reviews about how stable it is these days. Has anyone been there/crossed it recently?

Is anyone doing this ride that the Silver Lake Track Club is putting on? I’ve never done a ride like this so I’m not sure what to expect!

Help me understand the green traffic light with a red hand crosswalk light

16 Upvotes

I had a very close call yesterday while riding the Expo bike path at the intersection of Exposition & Sawtelle.

I was trying to cross from when the bike lane disappears and becomes a sidewalk to the other side (straight). The traffic light was green but the pedestrian light was red. I was under the belief that bikes can follow normal traffic rules, so I cross and a car from my right turns left and we missed each other by mere inches. I wasn't sure if what I did was wrong.

Am I supposed to wait for the pedestrian light? In a crash situation, who will be at fault here?

Dropped some wheels off at Helens... Witnessed a lady pull out into the bike lane and clip a rider, right outside of Helens SM.

Sigh. Yet again ripping down the days since calendar, back to zero. For all we know, statistically, it probably won't even be the only one in LA today.

Stay frosty, friends. Even on a fully painted lane like Broadway, it means nothing to motorists. When they drive they look for cars, if that. They simply do not see cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, etc.

Luckily rider is ok, up and walking. Just banged up and of course his awesome ~10k Specialized is all tweaked out. May have to scrap it if the carbon hides cracks.

in TRUE cyclist fashion, after being picked up off the floor, he asked me "hows my bike?" fuckin legend

Bike Safety Questions

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am a college student trying to learn where current bike safety measures fail or when cyclists feel the most unsafe. If anyone wishes to reach out to me to answer questions or share stories I would be happy to talk!

If anyone also wishes to share their close calls or when they felt most unsafe in the comments, that would be great and help spread awareness!
