Yesterday I went down to meet LA Mayor candidate @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social in person. Her platform is essentially "get sh*t done," which I appreciate. And I spent time with her husband and parents. You can feel her momentum growing here in LA.

Today I attended a Zoom call with LA Mayor candidate @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social. I got to ask her about bike infrastructure. She had a good answer (about importance of connected networks) and supported the HLA measure approved by voters. cc @lintonjoe.bsky.social @awalkerinla.bsky.social

I was interviewed by CBS News today about the work I’m doing with People for Bikes to improve bike infrastructure in LA. As proven by London and Paris, more bike lanes = safer roads for bikes, pedestrians and even cars. And better air quality for all.

I'm devoting some of my energy these days to getting more bike infrastructure built in LA around @la28games.bsky.social. So I attended the excellent @movela.bsky.social conference yesterday in Long Beach. Great chance to speak with leaders in person.

It @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social gets elected, she’d be the most bike friendly mayor in the history of Los Angeles. Exciting.

Huge victory today for LA road safety and bikes. The LA River Bikeway was unanimously green lit by the LA Metro board. I was there in person.

UCLA-Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup/Los Angeles. These seats are on the secondary market, but still...STARTING at $1,000 per ticket. Who is going to pay that, for that match, to sit in the nose bleed seats?

Mark Riedy and I recently recorded a podcast episode with Phil Gaimon. I decided to turn the transcript into a blog post, so you can read it. He had a lot of interesting things to say. medium.com/@peterabraha...

Today I attended the LA Metro board meeting to speak about the $430m LA River Bikeway project. It's just one vote away from a greenlight. The board includes @mayorofla.mirrors.bot, Supervisors @lindseyphorvath.bsky.social & @hildasolis.bsky.social & Inglewood mayor Butts. Fingers crossed.

I enjoyed speaking yesterday at the Bicycle Leadership Conference about the work I'm doing with PeopleforBikes to get more bike infrastructure built in LA around the LA28 Olympic Games. There are so many opportunities to improve the quality of life in LA by making our streets safer.

This week's podcast episode features my friend Juliet Scott-Croxford of Brompton Bikes. She talks about how they’ve built the world’s most unique bike. A good listen no matter what business or product category you work in. On all the pod platforms + YouTube.

On our podcast, we spoke with Pedego CEO Larry Pizzi to understand the complicated world of eBikes: regulations, safety, tariffs, batteries and Rad Power's near collapse were all part of this discussion. Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Today a 70-ish year old woman in a BMW screamed at me and flipped me off for riding in this bike lane. I have been attacked many times on my bike, but mostly by bros in pickup trucks. Is that changing now? Cc @pflax1.bsky.social

I rode in L’Étape on the brutal Stage 8 course of Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. There were 6,000 riders and nearly 40% were women. It was just extraordinary, and it feels like a phase shift is happening in cycling.

Yes, but will Europeans travel here to watch the games, and the Olympics? The data says no.

Fantastic week at Sea Otter Classic. The elephant in the room at this huge event was the needless trade tariffs that are inflicting incredible pain on the bike industry and the employees therein. On the upside I rode the 90 mile Fondo this morning, which was glorious.

My one takeaway going back to NYC after 6 years away is the growth of bike infrastructure. Super impressive: big bike lanes everywhere and huge CitiBike stations.

I've seen a lot in my life: civil wars on two continents, many earthquakes, but man, it is UNNERVING here in LA right now with the fires. And so many friends have tragically lost their homes. I'm exhausted, and sad.

I rode north on my bike today to escape the smoke. This is looking South towards Woodland Hills and Calabasas with the Palisades Fire directly behind. Still feels like it's very big and strong.

Fire is heading north (photo is from my driveway 2 hours ago) and now upper Encino and most of Brentwood being evacuated. I just keeps going...

View of three major fires from the hill near our house in Woodland Hills. Really scary tbh.
