The mayor of Los Angles, Antonio Vallaraigosa, took tumble on his bike yesterday. A cab pulled in front of him, causing him to fall and end up in the hospital with a broken elbow.
The accident took place on Venice Boulevard in mid-town and the mayor ended up spending a few hours in the hospital before being released.
Bike safety has become a hot issue in the City of Angeles of late, and it’s hard not to think of bike riding in L.A., except along the beach trail, as being very risky, in a city of very impatient drivers and rough roads.
Maybe this help focus the issue.
On the other hand, Hissoner wants to be governor, you can bet on it. Nice contrast between bicycle-riding governor and current motorcycle-riding gov.
