On March 3rd 2013, we hosted a bike parade to launch our new Healthy Food Map for South L.A., featuring live delivery of vegetables by bicycle.
- Our ride video with interviews and more
- A zipcode map of where people came from for the ride
- Press coverage
included NBC 4, KPCC’s OnCentral, USC Press, and more — see the full press list. - Photos from the ride: coming soon, for now, here’s our informal album
- Goals include participatory mapping to promote bike friendly streets, distributing the Healthy Food map we made, starting a public conversation about the future of South L.A. for bicycles, food, and sustainable development.
- Coordination & Outreach:
- Facebook event page.
- Retweet our announcement! Partners are still unfolding — let us know if you want in. We include TRUST S LA, Community Services Unlimited, and the ParTour/Mobile Lab/Metamorphosis groups at USC Annenberg.
- Know any journalists? Invite the press and community correspondents to cover the event live.
- Schedule and agenda
- Workshop starts at 10am at Mercado (get directions; it’s just east of the 110 freeway near Exposition and Grand)
- Riders depart by 11am. Going South toward Normandie Elementary. Probably under two hours round-trip.
- Stay connected. As always, sign up to be notified of future events. We’ll also post pictures etc. after the ride.
