I watched cyclist ride westbound on the Olympic Fwy from LaCienaga towards SM. This was around 7:30pm on a weekday. There is no parking in the curb lane, and some drivers think it's a carpool lane. A car passed the rider going around 45mph, and the driver didn't seem to slow or move over at all. The bike had a rear blinky and front blinky as well.
Without going into how drivers deal with us and why, let me say that Google Maps For Bikes seems good, if they take into consideration rush hour and how it's sometimes a better idea to take side streets. On a Sunday morning, early, circumstances change and you can see where Google Maps For Bikes may not be dialed in.
