The City of Long Beach has installed a considerable number of bike racks in public spaces. Do you suppose there’s someone out there who has already tried out each one?
Ideally, we can find secure places for us to lock our bicycles when we go about our shopping, and at banks, cafés, restaurants, and at work. Do you lock up the frame and both wheels? Do you prefer locations ‘out front’ or somewhere ‘tucked away’? Rosscott reminds us to have along a strong lock, so that we can leave our bicycle without worrying about coming back later to find it gone.
The System is created by Rosscott—a cartoonist who is also a cyclist. Rosscott makes thought-provoking and humorous observations about urban life, conditions at the office, transportation issues, and more.

Rosscott is a cartoonist who is also a cyclist. What a great combination! Â We are very pleased that he has given Long Beach Cyclists permission to reprint this The System cartoon.Â
The System is a humorous and insightful series of panels often dealing with cycling issues—especially as they relate to urban cycling and commuting to work—and to traffic-related issues in general, and to the work place, and to other aspects of contemporary life.

To be sure, NO cyclist should ever run a red light. We encourage all cyclists to cycle safely, legally and responsibly. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to take the free Traffic Safety 101 course, taught at CSULB Pyramid Annex (with follow-up practice time on Long Beach streets to put vehicular cycling concepts into practice).
