Remember the O.G. Carmageddon, way back when it was a threat to the mobility of all Angelenos, sure to commit an entire city to Gridlock, sequestering us all to our homes?

Thanks, Mayor Villaraigosa, for encouraging Angelenos to get out and enjoy a car-free weekend! Now can we just shut down the 405 once a year and have one big city-wide CicLAvia? *fingers crossed*

A small tweak in messaging is a huge win for cyclists, peds, advocates of sustainable streets, and all those interested in getting Angelenos out of their cars (IMHO), and I believe the L.A. cycling community had a lot to do with this. Cheers!
