L.A Councilman Garcetti secures elusive biker vote

Looks like high times for Los Angeles city employees- to encourage them to bike to work Councilman Garcetti has found funds for a full bike storage area, and showers and lockers so they can still look presentable after pedaling into work.

A perusal of local area blogs seems to yield nothing but praise for Garcetti, but frankly, until there are lockers, showers, and a bike storage facility here at the newsroom, I can't see myself getting that excited. It is a powerful lesson for legislators though: if you want to use public money to make yourself more popular around the office, make sure it has some greater eco-friendly justification.
