Daily Forty Niner
The New Bike lanes on Atherton were mentioned in the Daily 49er this week!! Apparently students didn't notice that they had recently been implemented and have recieved a slough of tickets.
Check out the article at: http://www.daily49er.com/polopoly_fs/1.1775023!/Summer49er_7-16-09.pdf
Also the 49er has another article about traffic from last January which you may want to read:

Bike Valet - needs your help
Hi All,
As most of you local residents know, we offer a Bike Valet service for Long Beach events and businesses. Recently, we have had an out-poor of gigs head our way which soon may result in an exhausted volunteer crew of valet parkers! In an effort to relieve the "burn out" effect and to get more local cyclists involved with our organization, I am asking if anyone has some extra time to help us. Bike Valet has become a successful profit making service for Long Beach Cyclists; the goal is to raise money for our 501 (c) (3) non-profit filing. If you feel you can spare even two hours of your time for the upcoming events, please let me know! The times and dates are listed below. If you can, please specify whether you can volunteer for morning, afternoon, or evening (where applicable).
August 21st
Evening
(exact time and location details to follow)
August 25th
Rainbow Harbor (between PF Changs and Gladstones)
1pm - 7pm
August 29th
12pm to 12 midnight (night owls, we need you!)
(exact time and location details to follow)
Please ask any questions you have about valet or any aspect of our organization!
Thank you for you continued support!
