Lecture
Cities, Bicycles and the Future of Getting Around: An Evening with David Byrne
October 02, 8:00 PM
The Aratani/Japan America Theatre, 244 South San Pedro Street, Los Angeles, California 90012
$20–25
Musician, artist, author and devout bicyclist David Byrne turns his attention to the fractured, car-mad city of Los Angeles. How can LA—with one of the world’s most challenging transportation systems—become a more bicycle-friendly city? How might the city change if more people made a bicycle their primary mode of transportation? Join David Byrne as he leads a panel of bike advocates, city officials and urban planners in examining the bicycle’s role in transforming the urban experience. Panelists: Jimmy Lizama, co-founder, the Bicycle Kitchen; Michelle Mowery, Senior Bicycle Coordinator, LADOT; Dr. Donald Shoup, Professor of Urban Planning, UCLA.
