Update: 36-year old woman and unborn baby killed riding ebike on Pershing Drive in Playa del Rey, where bike lanes removed in 2017 - BikinginLA

Apparently, last month isn’t done with us yet. And it ends with perhaps the worst news of all. After a month that had already seen seven people lose their lives riding a bicycle in Southern California, you can add two more to the tragic toll. And

Sadly, that’s exactly where bike lanes were installed in 2017 after a years-long community process, only to be removed following complaints from drivers used to zooming along the street.

It’s impossible to know whether this tragedy could have been prevented if the bike lanes were still there. But their removal will almost certainly mean Los Angeles will be liable for her death.

    It seems to me - as an overseas observer - that the balance of power between grown-ups and adult-aged-toddlers is unhealthily shifted towards the toddlers.

    I mean it’s pretty bad in plenty of other places, but the usa seems to have it extreme and widespread. At least based on what things like this internet forum reports.
