Southern Calfornia - Bicycle Paradise

Brilliant quote about Southern Calfornia as a bicycle paradise, from a newspaper article in 1897, back when over 20% of all trips were on bike in Los Angeles.

"The is no part of the world where cycling is in greater favour than in Southern California, and nowhere on the American continent are conditions so favorable the year round for wheeling."

Indeed! Here's a link to an article I wrote for the Los Angeles Times comparing Copenhagen with LA. And this article about cargo bike culture.
