Bikeable doesn't mean you'd let your 10 year old child do it.

There's bikeable, and then there's bikeable.

I flipped over 10,000 km on my e-bike odometer this summer! That's mostly commuting an errands, but I have done some urban exploring.

So 7,500 mi would be around 12,000 km I guess. Sounds like a new achievement to unlock: travel the equivalent of every street in LA.

It would be if there were safe bike lanes! the landscape and weather would be perfect for biking

LA county is huge and you can't bike from Long Beach to Ventura every day.
