A.M. Greenlist: All bicycles

>> Spring St. in downtown L.A. got a new pair of bike racks in front of 626 Gallery. Writes Eric Richardson of blogdowntown: "While certainly every rack is helpful for a cyclist looking to park, the excitement the sight of just one or two new racks can generate illustrates how far off the mark our city is as a whole."

>> Existing bike racks get busy. The usually half-full rack at Variety/E Channel Meridian Club building on Wilshire was packed, forcing Peggy Archer of LAist to tie her bike at a meter.

>> Obama says he'll increase funding for cycling and pedestrian projects if elected president.

>> Free Bike Fridays on Governors Island in New York lets visitors try out NYC's sustained bike share program for free every Friday until Oct. 4. Streetsblog made a short video of people -- including a tourist from California -- taking advantage of the free bikes.

>> Australia finds cycling saves an estimated $227.2m AUD annually in public health services, decides to invest in "a national cycling training scheme."

>> Yokohama, Japan, got a free concert -- powered by volunteers pedaling on refurbished bicycles -- from nonprofit “ARCHSHIP.”
