In 2010, Los Angeles passed a plan to add 1,684 miles of bikeways throughout the city. Over the years, the city has added hundreds of miles and continues to add more each year. Initially, the plan was to add 200 miles a year. The main goals of this project were to encourage more people to use a bicycle as their preferred form of transportation, decrease traffic and make bicycle commuting safer. Connecting a vast network of bike lanes allows people to get all over the city conveniently by bike.
With improvements to the bike lane infrastructure, more people will be motivated to get outside and bike. Bike paths make biking safer and help to reduce the rate of cyclist injuries. In addition, they also increase safety for motorists. Biking instead of driving is great for both your own personal health as well as the environment.
