The grant from the Southern California Association of Governments will help bicyclists in Los Angeles and Glendale.
The chapter will be giving out the horns in East Hollywood, Westlake, downtown Los Angeles and Koreatown in July and August. The team will also instruct users how to use the horns for safety while not startling pedestrians.
Alek Bartrosouf, a steering committee member, said that the chapter was formed 10 years ago to address safety concerns regarding walking, biking and using city transit. During guided rides, the group usually welcomes people who “don't feel safe riding on their own because the existing infrastructure is lacking, but they do come out to these bike rides that are social and people feel a lot safer,” Bartrosouf said., and biking in a group is more visible to drivers.
He explained that people may prefer to bike because of the high cost of owning a car or one’s desire to be active or support the environment. Whatever the reason, he said, the city’s infrastructure should allow people to get places safely.
