NYC Transit Challenge
Cyclelicious has a post today pointing to The annual car vs bike vs transit challenge. I wonder if anybody’s done the equivalent in LA recently. Of course, this was on a nice, sunny day in NYC — their strange weather season named, if I recall correctly, “winter,” might make the outcome a bit different. ;)
“Transportation Alternatives in New York City held its 7th annual Commuter Challenge yesterday. Streetfilms had cameras on each of the car driver, cyclist and public transit user and Elizabeth Press stayed up all night to create the video of the challenge in less than 24 hours!

How would a cyclist fare in similar contest against a driver and transit user in LA? Note also in the video that the car driver spent some time looking for parking.
Did you see that the Los Angeles area is like in the top 10 of U.S. cities in terms of lowest carbon footprint per capita?
Thanks for the link love to Cyclelicious — I always appreciate it!
