Nevertheless, house owners have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are commonly around the corner. Lynwood is not very well-suited for pedestrians since very few daily needs can be met without a vehicle. In contrast, the bicycle is a fairly good means of transportation in Lynwood because it is a flat ride to most destinations.
