One of the biggest cities in the USA, where the weather is perfect year round. That was designed and built up within the last 80 years around cars - it wasn't designed for horses or walking and there should be plenty of room for bike lanes.

Why wouldn't people want to ride bikes or commute via streetcar or bus? Hell, they could build one of those flat escalators that they have in airports and it would be usable 95% of the time.

Imagine if in the 40s the city planners of LA weren't racist, there could be a sweet network of bike paths going under, over, and alongside roads linking every part of the city. Instead these losers want to cater a major metropolitan area to the operators of mechanical deathboxes.

Plenty of Angelinos want good urban transport, but they're not backed by commercial real estate interests and aren't whining loudly online about it every day.
