That's great! It helps a lot too if the officers know what bicyclists *shouldn't* be doing (wrong way riding, running red lights).

"Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck told a group of bicycle advocates that department-wide training would be implemented to highlight the rights of bicyclists on the road and ensure that officers know how to deal with incidents involving bikes."

my cousin is an LAPD, 21 years in (single mom who kicks butt!) I'll have to ask her about this...
I was pretty glad to see this. I hope it's not just lip service. There has been a lot of buzz about cyclists and the city working together lately.
How weird would it be if LA got all bike-friendly?
Hey, look how awesome the police are doing with the whole protecting cyclists thing!
