Bike meeting location changed
Folks: I posted earlier about a public meeting Monday night to discuss cycling in Mandeville Canyon. There's been an address change -- the new meeting place is the Felicia Mahood Multipurpose Center at 11338 Santa Monica Boulevard.
It is also worth noting that Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl's office is saying that the meeting is not intended to be a discussion of the specifics of the July 4th crash that injured two cyclists. Rather, the meeting concerns bike safety on Mandeville Canyon Road.
The full press release from Rosendahl's office is after the jump.

What: In the wake of a July 4 automobile accident that hospitalized two cyclists, Councilmember Bill Rosendahl will host a public meeting to bring cyclists, motorists and residents together to discuss ideas and proposals to make it easier for everyone to share the Mandeville Canyon Road.
City officials will welcome suggestions from all parties on how to improve safety on the narrow 5 mile roadway that is heavily used by residents, visitors to nearby recreation areas, and cyclists. Discussion will also focus on efforts to better inform the public about laws and vehicle code sections pertaining to cycling and sharing the road.
The specifics of the July 4 incident, which is being investigated by law enforcement officials, will not be a subject of the meeting.
The July 4th Mandeville Road Rage Incident should never be referred to as an "automobile accident" that hospitalized two cyclists.
There is nothing "accidental" about a violent assault with a deadly weapon.
