Bike activists, city officials, transportation planners and police will discuss a 1,600-mile city bike path plan, police enforcement of traffic laws as it concerns cyclists and integration of "bike ways" with the area's bus and rail network, according to the mayor's office.
"Let's get together and talk about what we need to do to make the streets safer for cyclists," said Mayor Villaraigosa. "Whether you depend on your bike for commuting or just take it out for fun, I invite you to come to the Bike Summit to talk about your experiences and learn about what we're doing in Los Angeles to make streets safer for everyone."
Villaraigosa was famously involved in a bike-versus-cab accident earlier this month that left him with a broken elbow and newfound respect for cyclists' rights.
