Bicycles lighting the night in Venice Beach – BBC News

Published

on



What happens when you apply thousands of LED lights to a bicycle? You fit right in with Venice, California locals. Venice Beach, which served as a US hippy hub of the 1960s, is now seeing dozens of locals cruising its boardwalk late at night with brightly glowing rides.
The bicycle enthusiasts say they fit right in with the hundreds of performers, artists and musicians that already call Venice Beach home. BBC Pop Up’s Matt Danzico is off the road this month and exploring his new home in Southern California.

    I love riding my bike at night. Sure, it might not be the coolest bike in the world, but I still think it's pretty alright with the wheel lighting it currently has (front wheel blue lights, rear wheel green). Plus a little under frame red light bar.

Gaza ceasefire deal being finalised, says Palestinian official | BBC News

Published

The terms of a deal between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages are being finalised, a Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations has told the BBC.

It comes as US President Joe Biden said a deal was “on the brink” of coming to fruition, and that his administration was working urgently on the matter.

An Israeli official also told news agency Reuters that negotiations were in “advanced stages”, with a deal possible in “hours, days or more”.

Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, and with Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar, who is mediating the negotiations.
