Virtual Biking



To prep myself for the CSULB bike safety classes I signed up for in February, I'm reviewing a few bike-centric websites.




Bike Long Beach -- has a Bike 101 page with safety tips for riding at night or reporting a pothole, but it doesn't not explain the mystery of why the new "bike route" street signs have numbers on them


Los Angeles Dept. of Transportation -- has a downloadable 12-page brochure on bike rules and bike maps


Bike Commuters -- has a blog featuring hard-working bikes and bike accessories state-by-state bike laws


League of American Bicyclists -- has educational videos and a state-by-state directory of bike classes


National Center for Bicycling & Walking -- links to the Active Living Resource Center and other publications


California Association of Bicycling Organizations -- has news-oriented blog and articles


California Bicycle Coalition -- news on laws and advocacy


California DMV -- has rules of bike safety and links


Pedestrian and bicycle Information -- has maps and programs and free photos like the one in this post (pedbikeimages.org/photographer Dan Burden)
