L.A. Freeway Cyclists Ride Again

4:16 PM EDT on May 15, 2008

A group of cyclists in Los Angeles continues its guerrilla rides on city freeways. In this video, via Streetsblog LA, riders are joined by rollerbladers as they cut through idling traffic on the 405. The "Crimanimal Mass" movement has gotten more sophisticated since the previous video installment, what with the narrative-style editing, helpful graphics and what seems to be an original score (which I could only tolerate for about four minutes before muting).

Read all about the "If You Rode a Bike You'd Be Home By Now" rides here.
