The Los Angeles City Council has officially banned sidewalk bike repairs and bike sales.
"Metro stations should have good places where you can lock up your bike and feel safe about it," Raman said."You can provide additional and better storage opportunities that will allow you to keep your bike in pristine condition, and we can do that across the entire city in a thoughtful way. That would be a good investment in addressing bike theft.", but the ordinance was not the way to stop it.
"This ordinance the way it's envisioned could also capture innocent conduct," she said."The ordinance in Long Beach makes it illegal to assemble or disassemble two or more bicycles on the sidewalk that could be missing parts." She added the only way to prove the bike is yours is by producing a video or photo evidence, a bill of sale, a serial number or bike registration.
"How many people actually have those things? How many of us have those things? For our bikes on hand all the time? I certainly don't," she said.
