“The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart.”
- Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green
Welcome to the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation Bicycle Information Web Site.

bicycling and the law and other sources of information on bicycling as a commuting option.

Bicycle Licensing
For your information, on June 2, 2009 the City Council voted to repeal the City's Bicycle Licensing Program.
Bicycle licenses are no longer required in the City of Los Angeles.
Please carry identification when riding a bicycle and be sure children have identification as well in the form of an identification bracelet, sticker in their helmet, or bicycle registration with a private firm.
In addition there are various ways of identifying your bicycle in the event it is stolen, photos and making a note of the serial number as well as including an identifier in the seat tube of the bicycle.
