When cyclists took over the 110 Freeway between downtown L.A. and Pasadena, we asked them what they'd change about riding bikes in Los Angeles.
The Arroyo Seco Parkway was busy in both directions on Sunday morning — without a car in sight. For four glorious hours, cyclists and pedestrians had a chance to safely explore six miles of the 110 Freeway between Los Angeles and Pasadena, a stretch of roadway that opened in 1940 and typically carries more 100,000 daily motorists who brave its winding turns and scary entrance ramps.
and what would you change about it? Here’s what they told us. Lawrence Sanchez, 41, of Highland Park is a civil engineer who often rides through Griffith Park and Angeles Crest. Alex Trepanier, 35, of Alhambra rode the same antique bike — called a pennyfarthing — to ArroyoFest 20 years ago. He said has more than 600 bikes in his collection, including a bike built by the Wright brothers.
