Bike Central LA, a local chapter of BikeLA, is a group of community members dedicated to making Los Angeles’ central neighborhoods safe for cyclists through infrastructure, education and group rides. The organization includes a leadership team of residents of Echo Park, Silver Lake and Westlake, and dozens of community members who are interested in being involved as volunteers and active members. Bike Central LA is confident that making Los Angeles a safer place to bike would in turn reduce transportation-related pollution, end car-related fatalities of all vulnerable road users, increase the freedom of mobility for all users, and engender a more integrated, interactive, and human-scale community. In solidarity, we work to create a better now and a cleaner future.
