This should be the standard in greater LA.

Santa Monica can do it. Why can't Los Angeles?

It makes sense for Southern California to use bicycles as transportation. There's great weather and little rain most of the year.

The entire country of the Netherlands have proven that infrastructure, not weather, makes cycling the most popular mode of transportation. Hell, most of Nordic big cities are cycling heavens despite their shitty snowy/rainy weather.

Sure, but great weather just makes it that much more appealing. It’s not a prerequisite but it’s a huge plus. So, not having great bicycle infrastructure in a place with great weather seems like such a loss.
