Lifelong bicyclist, editor of BikinginLA.com, and notorious pro-biking advocate. Type 2 diabetic with a debilitating form of neuropathy, husband and corgi dad. I admire, not the ones who have never fallen, but those who always get up.
I've gotten a lot of new followers the last few days, so just a reminder that this account is about bicycling. If you want my typically uninformed and misguided political takes, follow my other account at @tedrogerla.bsky.social, where I will likely follow back. Bonus: bad jokes and corgi pics.

It’s a lethal weapon and needs to be wielded like so and too many people subvert the criminality of taking off after a deadly collision.

If you've followed me in recent days, while I've gotten more political than usual because of the murders in Minneapolis, this account is really about bicycling. For my typically uninformed and misguided political takes, follow my other account at @tedrogerla.bsky.social. Bonus: Lots of corgi pics!

This is unacceptable. California has to address the issue of safety for people outside of cars!

If anybody needs a bike, West LA Bicycle still has some rental bikes available for that day! They want as many people out as they can and it seems like they have over 100 so far.

The shop emailed me: "Much love, thanks for being involved, we look forward to meeting you and riding with you."

It's taken me 3 days to process my anger over the shootings of Alex Pretti and Reneee Nicole Good. I'm trying to learn from the civil rights protesters of the '60s, and Dr. King's admonition that only love can overcome hate. I don't know how, but I know we shall overcome one day.

My apologies. I'm feeling just this side of awful tonight. With any luck, it's just a passing bout of old and diabetic, and I'll be young, healthy and beautiful after a good night's sleep. Hopefully, we'll be back on Wednesday to catch up on anything we missed.
