Long Beach wants to know about your bike use, safety

As my previous blog entry mentioned, Long Beach is trying to become bicycle friendly -- actually, it wants to be "the most bicycle-friendly city in America." So, the city is asking residents to take a survey about how often you ride a bike and what kind of safety issues you encounter either as a bicyclist or as a motorist who must share the road with bikes.

The survey just takes a few minutes. Check it out here.
