UPDATE: NoHo Cyclists Beat JetBlue Flight, and Carmageddon

Cyclists set out from Cahuenga Boulevard in North Hollywood to prove the bike can be mightier than the car or jet.

UPDATE 1:18 p.m. The cyclists got to Long Beach long before the JetBlue flight from Burbank, according to their Twitter feed. Their journey took a total of 1 hour and 34 minutes, while the flight they were racing had only taken off ten minutes prior to their journey's finish.
