Next weekend, the 405 freeway in Los Angeles will be closed for repairs between the 10 and the 101. This means traffic everywhere in the LA area is going to suuuucccck. The other freeways - since they are all connected - are going to be backed up like crazy. The side streets will be a mess, with people trying to avoid the freeways. Locals are calling it Carmageddon, and the MTA is telling everyone just to stay home.
This all sounds like a great weekend for some bike riding. I feel very free in that I can pretty much get anywhere I need to go on my bicycle. If I wanted to go shopping, go out to eat, catch a movie or hit the gym I could just jump on my bike, no problem. I suppose this won't be a big Home Depot weekend or anything, but whatever. I can't help but feel like the appropriate response is a little bit of neener, neener, neener.
LA people, any grand cycling plans for Carmageddon?
