Los Angeles is well-known for traffic jams and aggressive drivers.Devon Fitzgerald,a cyclist,is familiar with both.
“A lot of L.A. folks are in a rush,’’he said,“and it is very easy for them to prioritize(优先于)their speed over your safety.”
The city is known for its car culture because Los Angeles is spread out and public transportation is either slow or limited.As a result,people drive everywhere,causing congestion(拥挤)almost any time of day.
Therefore,Fitzgerald likes to ride his bicycle to work.“I like the fact that it simplifies a lot of the aspects of travel,”Fitzgerald said.“For instance,I don’t have to worry about parking,ever.”
However,Roger Rosas,who drives, says that bicycles are dangerous for the cyclist and the driver.“You always have to make sure that you look to the other side because you are going to avoid this guy and you don’t want to do a hit and run,’’he said.“You can also get in a car crash as a result of that.”
To make cycling safer,some bicyclists in Los Angeles,who live and work near each other,are cycling to work together in what’s called a “Bike Trains".
‘‘You are a big enough group that cars don’t have the same behaviors as if you are just one person,” said Nona Varnado, who co-founded L.A. Bike Trains.“And you are also with an experienced cyclist.’’
“L.A. Bike Trains was launched in May 2013 and the number of participants and routes around the city has been growing.The routes range from 7 to almost 32 kilometers long.That makes L.A. Bike Trains unique compared to other cities,’’says Herbie Huff,a transportation expert at University of California Los Angeles.
‘‘We want people to develop that mental sense of security and confidence by riding together in a group,” Nona Varnado said.Her aim is to make it so that bike trains are an important part of Los Angeles culture.
