Via GOOD Magazine's blog, we find Andy Bower's video report for Slate.com on the "stupidest bike lane in America," which happens to be in the same neighborhood as one of the most respected schools in the nation -- UCLA. The 275 ft. class II bike lane runs on Gayley between Levering and Weyburn Avenues (interactive map below, lane marked in orange, try finding it!)
If you've got a stupider bike lane, he welcomes you to e-mail him about it.




Le sigh.
Everyone should forward this to the Mayor's office or the LA transit departments and see if there is a response.
That's hilarious and sad at the same time.
I can't remember where, but somewhere in Los Angeles almost positive I've seen one shorter than that. I'll have to keep my eye out for it, but it's easy to miss bike lanes when they last only a few pedal strokes.
finally someone said something... I always skateboard down that road, on that bike lane... and I just keep going when it ends, super tightly in between cars... dangerous, but the sidewalks suck
My Personal Favourite (But in England)

What the guy neglects to tell you is that if you're heading that direction, you're probably a grad student biking back from campus to the graduate housing. In which case, you'd turn right at that intersection, not keep going straight.
