Bike lessons from Long Beach

Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky and a team including county engineers recently hopped on bikes and took a look at street strategies that could be applied across the county. On their cycling tour of Long Beach-which makes no secret of its aim of knocking Portland off its perch as America's most bicycle-friendly city-they pedaled along innovative bike boulevards, green sharrows and a spectacular stretch of the Pacific. Their takeaway: where there's a will, there's a bikeway.
