50 Under a Full Moon

full-moon-rise 1

First off, this ride is a bad idea. You probably shouldn’t go on it. It will be the middle of the night, and you have to work the next day. There are no buses or trains to save you, and only 7-11s and donut shops to feed on. With that being said…

November 2nd, meeting at Eleven-Forty Five is Long Beach Cyclists first (and maybe last) Full Moon Ride. This ride will take us up the San Gabriel River, along the Rio Hondo until it meets up with the LA River, and finally back home on Long Beach’s own Beach Path.

It’s 50-miles, under a full moon, in November. It will be cold, could be rainy, and there are coyotes. If you’re going to ignore my advice and come along on the ride, we recommend having a well-working bicycle. One that doesn’t creak and ache. One that you know how to fix, or one that won’t break. You are responsible for yourself (hey, just like in real life!)
Lights are a must. No lights, no ride. We’ll send you home.
Helmets are strongly encouraged.

November 2nd @ 11:45PM

Welcome to another exciting edition of “What’s Wrong With This Picture?!

Your hosts for this show are two of Long Beach’s very own bicycle-mounted Police.

This photo was taken on E. Broadway near Promenade, looking East.

So, how many things can YOU find wrong with this picture?

As you know, Long Beach is looking for a new Chief of Police.

With the city’s commitment to become the most bicycle-friendly city in the nation – it would be ideal if the new Chief had a sense of what his officers could do to make Long Beach safer and more enjoyable for cyclists, and to set the best example possible to citizens and residents.

With that in mind, what questions would YOU have for the new Chief?
