PETITION: A demand for Fair Traffic Investigations and a Commitment to Safe Streets.
See Petition HERE
Over the last week Ted Rogers (BikingInLA) was involved with a very broad spectrum of L.A. cyclists in developing a response to the recent Culver City collision that left 11 cyclists injured, and which the LAPD preliminarily blamed on the riders for stopping in the roadway to regroup, even though eyewitness testimony suggested the driver was intoxicated, speeding and texting at the time of the collision.
He sent this petition to us and we signed on for Santa Monica Spoke.  They are accepting individual signatures — and in fact, collected over 500 at last week’s Critical Mass ride —
The full statement will be released at a press conference to follow at City Hall on Thursday.
If you would like your name added to the list click here to send an email. Â Please include your name and city – I will forward all the names to be added to the list.

Thank you Craig, I will add you to the list
Please add my name in support of a fair investigation and justice for the victims of this apparently intoxicated and clearly negligent driver.
there’s a press conference today at LA city hall at 11am; i’ll be there and will hopefully be able to sign anything that’s being passed around. is anyone else headed there from the westside today?
Let us know how it goes Joni.
