South Pasadena: Green Bike Lanes, Boxes & Parking, Oh My

The City of South Pasadena has always been known as a quaint community with an all American home town feel, but has it ever been known as being bicycle-friendly?  Perhaps soon it will. 

The Gold Line Mission Station and it's subsequent transit oriented development has transformed the Mission St. Downtown District into a local hot spot. New cafe's, bars, studios mixed with long standing boutique furniture stores, restaurants, wine houses, and pastry shops provide a nostalgic feeling while allowing a glimpse in to the future. This time however, this small town is about to be rebranded as a true bicycle-friendly community. 

South Pasadena City Council passed its Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) in August of 2011, thereby qualifying for Cal-Trans Bicycle Transportation Account Funding. The city was recently awarded over $400,000 to implement the Mission Street Green Bike Sharrow Lane project and Bicycle Parking Project, which consists of an enhanced class-III bike lane on Mission St., bike boxes on certain intersections, 70 new bike racks, 10 bike lockers, and 3 bike shelters. Get excited! 

Fore more information please visit the South Pasadena City website.

Oh goodie goodie gum drops...CicLAvia is back this Sunday!!!

Unlike previous CicLAvia's, the route does not include Little Tokyo. As a result BikeSGV will not host its usual Pit Stop at the Japanese American National Museum. 

BUT...it's no cause for tears, this is the first time the route takes us directly to the sea, Venice Beach! Get excited! 

Many groups in and around the SGV are coordinating feeder rides departing from various locations. Identify the feeder ride nearest you and plan accordingly. 

Here is a list of feeder rides from the SGV to CicLAvia:

West SGV area ( South Pasadena, Alhambra, San Gabriel)
The Eastside Bike Club invites you to join the family-friendly party on wheels with cycling celebrity, Nelson "Nelly" Veils, 1984 Olympic Silver medalist. 
Location: El Sereno Parklett, 4910 Huntington Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90032 (The mini park directly in front of Food 4 Less)
Meet @ 8:00am 
Depart @ 9:00am 
More info: Carlos Morales 323/572-8211

North-West SGV area (Pasadena, Altadena, Sierra Madre)
Cal-Tech Bike Lab invites you for a relaxed and scenic ride leaving from Pasadena. Location: Caltech Y (505 S. Wilson Ave, Pasadena CA)
Meet @ 8:00am
Depart @ 9:00am
More info: http://caltechbikelab.blogspot.com/

Tips for the ride:
  • Familiarize yourself with the CicLAvia map
  • If you're going with family, identify rendezvous points or meet up locations
  • Make sure your bike is in good working order before arriving 
  • Bring a cell phone and money
  • Pack a lunch, snacks, & water bottle
  • Don't bring things you don't need, you don't want to get tired too soon
  • MOST IMPORTANT: bring an open mind and positive attitude...

HAVE FUN! We hope to see you at CicLAvia.

***Please email [javier@bikesgv.org] if you'd like to list your feeder ride to CicLAvia.***
