In a city as big as Los Angeles—some 469 square miles and 3,834,340 people—getting from point A to B can get complicated. The car is king, but congested traffic, rising gas prices and global warming have us rethinking how we navigate L.A. This week in Metromix, we explore the citywide bike boom, the perks of going Metro, a Smart car to drive and brilliant places to park. And just in case you’re not ready to hand over your keys, we’ll tell you how to make the most of your mileage.

Also in this issue, we witness democracy in action at Channel 101's video night, dig into some omakase at in Little Tokyo, head-bang at the inaugural Metal Masters tour, set up our own home bar, check out reverse retailing at Revolve Clothing, and round up the best beaches and parties for Labor Day. All this plus new installments of Hot & Bothered, "Ninja Diaries" and Local Positioning. Check it out in the free print edition of Metromix (available from news boxes all around L.A.) and right here on metromix.com.
