Bike to Work Week

Join me along with Councilmember LaBonge, Councilmember Greuel, the Department of Transportation and the LA County Bicycle Coalition as we kick off Bike to Work Week with Metro on Monday, May 14. People will bike in from all over to City Hall, where from 11:30 to 1:00 there will be a bike rally, complete with live music, a custom bike show, and bicycle and health information from local organizations.

Be a part of the solution for a better LA and pledge to bike to work and improve the environment by reducing traffic and pollution. Stop by any one of the numerous Metro sponsored Bike to Work Day pit stop locations in Los Angeles County (including the one at the CD13 Field Office at Hollywood and Western) on Thursday, May 17 from 7:00am to 10:00am and show your support.

You can calculate the pounds of carbon dioxide you’ll be saving by using the Carbon Calculator at the new CD13 Congestion/Pollution Reduction portion of our website.
