There have been increasing incidents of cyclists being attacked while riding on the Ballona Creek Bike Path. Most recently (as reported by the Culver City Patch), a man was made to crash while three men attempted to steal his bicycle. The man has been in the UCLA Medical Center for several days recovering from serious injuries sustained from the incident.

Many Culver City residents use the bike path to get their daily exercise, commute to work, walk their dogs, take family rides to the beach and to run and train for events. We should all feel safe using this beautiful car-free path as one of the perks of living in Culver City.
