Militant Angeleno’s self-portrait
Militant Angeleno’s self-portrait

The Militant Angeleno, local man about town and one of MetroRiderLA’s more militant allies, ventured up to Dodger Stadium without letting the man drag him down and/or charge him $15 for parking. He saw the Dodger game via bicycle. He also has the straight poop on Dodgers owner Frank McCourt’s $60 million offseason improvements to Dodger Stadium. Of this, as much as $0 goes towards getting any form of public transportation to the stadium.

And just below his Dodgers items, Millie pays homage to L.A.’s public transit past — this time for the Los Angeles Yellow Cars.

  1. I did the bike thing to dodger stadium once - no problems. As usual, I was hoping to encounter some resistance so I could sass the naysayer with something like “15,000 seat stadium and no bike racks!?”

    I hear there is a back way to the stadium that involves going through a park…

  2. You’re about 51,000 seats off that statistic (c’mon, baseball is all about stats…).

  4. Yo mang,

    The ride to the stadium is a great idea! I’ve done it three times now, and each time, I’ve felt better and better about the idea.

    The no bike racks thing does suck - as does worrying about some drunk a-holes destroying your ride because it is there. So far - everything has worked out fine.

    The big question - which approach to Chavez Ravine do you favor?

    I am partial to using the Bishop Road entrance off of Broadway - for some reason, the climb doesn’t seem as bad, or as steep.

    You sohuld post a ride on bikeboom.com or midnightridazz.com, and we should all hit up Dodger stadium en masse some night on bikes.

  5. I like to use SOLANO, the signal north of Bishop’s Road on Broadway.
    [Dodger Stadium is in Solano Canyon]

    So cool, riding under that busy freeway!
