As part of Bike Week L.A.'s many festivities, today is Bike to Work Day.
Metro is sponsoring activities today to boost interest in cycling as a commuting option, including free rides:
Just board a vehicle operated by any of the following carriers with your bike or helmet. If your bus carrier does not have bike racks or if the racks are occupied, park your bike and board with your helmet only.
They've also got several "Pit Stops" set up where bike-riders can get free goodies and refreshments; the locations are mapped out above. You can also sign the online pledge today to show that you are among the many who use their bicycle to get to work.
