THE BEST THING WAS THE JOUSTING!!! NEXT TIME, BE BRAVE, AND JOIN IN THE JOUSTING, THANKS TO THE GANG FOR A BOMB ASS RIDE AND EVENTS, CAN I GET A "WOOT WOOT"????
i put up two.
i gots one of rbi in his skivvies and flower lady sitting all up on his junk space but i didnt know if that was appropriate
mostly cuz its a fuzzy picture
dang.
@RBI
Yeah, I think it was tame because a lot of folks were on the salton sea ride. It sure cranked up a bit when it turned into your birthday party though!
Damn, that looked like a completely new route as well.
Aside from that, I still need to get that flag for my recumbent anyway.
Let's hope the MOB expands beyond believable, proportions next month.
Not like it's really, small or anything, anyway.
Dude, forgetting that I'm in there, and everyone likes to see stuff they're in,
THIS IS INSPIRING. Look at how many people were there. Listen to the crowd chanting at the end?!?!?!? We have harnessed the power of FUN, fused fission with fusion exploding CRANK light through the universe of NOW
Flower Woman, eh?
Nice, who knows what's in store for the next round.
This time, I'm going to carefully observe the health conditions of my staff.
That way, I'm not left holding the Gucci Bag.
Saturday was absurdist and alarmist and freneticist and dancist and prancist and Merry fucking Christmas. I think I lost a kidney.
I hung with the moped gang last night, and they've got some good shit going on. But they don't have C.R.A.N.K. MOB. They're jealous and a little afraid.
I tried, pretty hard, all weekend. Talked smack about mopeds, told them their legs were weak, that I could beat up most of them, they relied on foreign oil for their fun, their haircuts were emo as fuck, etc. But they were having none of it. They had events and plans and stuff.
They really did have some good shit going. But they were, like, SCHEDULED and shit. They're also leaving town today.
Hey, great seeing everyone at crank mob! its been awhile since ive ridden the westside, but another awesome ride (didnt even get home till 4:00am!)
Beverly Hills/Rodeo Drive was f*ckin awesome! BIke jousting was also tight! Happy Birthday RBI! Richie and the gang, you guys rock!
adolpho the dolphin is shopping for some blades this week--he's gearing up to team with unicorn to take out the mopeds and cars that turn left without looking!!!!!
Nice piece there, Alex.
The sharecuts will have no effect on me though.
The cake-icing would probably just serve as a slip-topping, to my already, chromed-out dome.
We need to set up Sharetattoos for people with unSharecuttable situations. Maybe we can get some kind of fake hair putty or something? We could glue other peoples hair on your dome and then cut it off? We could go to the park and mow a benstrider portrait into the grass.
Let's figure this out people, we can't just leave Mr Ben T Strider hanging.
My portrait in the grass, that would kick sooooo much ass!!!!!
As far as glue-able hair goes, "The Guyver" is what I have in mind.
And as far as myself shaving my head, I have a case of "Hairdiscolourationdisorderitis" which causes my hair to change colour depending upon however I feel about a particular subject.
Pier Pressure! Meeting at 3pm at the SM Pier. Why ride bikes when you can just ride drunk?
Bikerowave! C.R.A.N.K. MOB costume building party at Bikerowave 7pm to 9pm. Dress to distress.
Somewhere FAST! 2pm at Echo Park Lake. How far can you go?
Cubcamp! CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF SWEAT AND BEER. The 24 hour ride of death starts from Bikerowave at 9pm on Friday night and ends up somehow at C.R.A.N.K. MOB.
Any other C.R.A.N.K. MOB pre-parties going on? Post it here!
i'm coming tonight but my bike is still a little fucked from the accident. gonna have a friend help me tighten the back brake. i need to get a tune up because the gears aren't shifting right. where should i go? (not tonight..maybe tomorrow?)
Hey, y'all.
So, one dude's still getting body-work done on his car, and my younger brother decided to bail for a local, party.
So, I'll have an extra, Trek 800 available for use tonight in case one of y'all don't got a bike for some reason.
SEVEN-SIX-Oh, six-86'd,thirty-fifty-1
Tomato, if you can bring it by my place, I can get it fixed right up. Hopefully, you remember where I live. My phone is dead right now (9am), and I'm still very much in recovery mode from C.R.A.N.K. Mob, but I'll charge it up now and sould be feeling better in a few hours. Call or text me and we'll set up a time.
Or take it to one of the bicycle collectives:
bicyclekitchen
bikerowave
bikeoven
Put a .com after any of those and you'll find the website.
I must be in charge of the gimp-brigade or something.
Didn't get to go much further with y'all after the Costco stop, due to my friend blowing his knees out and having to go to work at 9AM.
But, other than that, this was definitely the shit!!!
Pic's and half-assed, home-movies coming soon to a hijacked drive-in near you
LAST NIGHT WAS THE BEST RIDE I'VE NEVER BEEN ON!
enjoyment forever. why do we get to have all the fun? crank mob is what the concrete is for. PIZZANOMALY says hi. he is still asleep!
OBAMA / THE BOX O8
So many new faces I love it!
Laundromat-powered fireparty - "Does anyone need to do laundry before we leave?" - K139. HAHAHHAHA
Fox Hills Securities are gafs. If you didnt want a party, dont put outlets on the exterior of your building.
There was a fireworks-smell the whole ride.
Crab Kickin
I think I am re-injured. duh.
Culver City Cops are gafs. If you dont want a party, dont give Richie a drivers license.
To the guy who I helped change a tire at the last stop while we waited for the mob to find us:
I think I got bored before you actually reinstalled your wheel, and as a result, I had wandered off by the time you were done with my Surly axle tool/ber opener. However, I'd sure like to get it back, especially if I can do so before I leave to go cycling in India for a month at the end of next week.
the spoke cards you were making at the bikerowave had a route map on the back. the one i got at the start didnt. since spoke cards are like 100% TOP SERIOUS TOTALLY IMPORTANT, did i miss out on some rarity?
Dude, definitely those photographs were planned. If you have DSLR you come back from something like this with hundreds of photos. Picking the same one from the same moment - no more than a tenth of a second apart?
AWESOME RIDE. Can we start doing it twice a month?
THANK YOU, all my new personfriends, for showing PAM such a good time at CRANK MOB!!!
I was so sad when I didn't see user "sexy" or user "yo delicious" or user "Ms. Stephanie" or user "Creative Thing." :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(:(
But the rest of you were so GREAT!!! If you had better taste in music you would be PERFECT!!! I pedaled my bicycle SO FAR, but never got tired!!! Fireworks are so much fun!!!
methinks you mean Gary7/Meghan... although I was also involved in the baking magic of triple (YES TRIPPLE... you're forgetting the cacao bits!) chocolate cookies. And trussss there will be more. Coming soon to a ride near you.
Et qui est onethirtynine? not that it's a big deal... but... SPOKE CARDZ!
my ipod played a mixture of carcass, inepsy, hawkwind, and the misfits before being yanked away. EVERYONE WAS SINGING ALONG TO THE MISFITS. why would you go and stop something like that?
why oh why is brunch madness always scheduled to follow crank mob?? i'm tired of missing this. i WILL be there next month. i WILL dance like a fool. i WILL crank your mob!
@yo delicious:
"why oh why is brunch madness always scheduled to follow crank mob?? i'm tired of missing this. i WILL be there next month. i WILL dance like a fool. i WILL crank your mob!"
Its just a matter of priorities, really. I say, skip the brunch and ride with the mob. The fact that the brunch is at your house is just a small detail that I'm sure you can overlook ;-)

critical mass, but fun.
I had more pizza photos, however pizza has a tendency toward sudden movements in low lighting, making it blurry and unconvincing like pictures of big foot.
Richie, let me know where you are keeping the box and I'll wing by. I'm heading to India for a month on Friday and I doubt I'll be out on any rides before then, but I need the tool in India.
townies, city-dwellers, and college kids all joining forces for an as of yet, undefined cause.
That is one of the meaningless meanings of what is CRANK Mob.
wow one of the funnest crank mobs ever. i brought a friend and now he's hooked.
the music was great
the people were great
the outfits were fantastic
i learned how to hula hoop for the first time (thanks jonnyboy!)
eating and celebrating 4/20 at 4:20am with the oldest waiter alive (who was also fantastic) was great
riding home with the sun rising in the east= great
my legs are sore, but i was oh so fun!
Yeah, that diner was definitely a throwback to some of those old, road-house movies.
Waiter seemed pretty cool, putting up with the tomfoolery of the rest of the contingent.
Nothing like chicken, onion rings, and cheese-sticks to fuel you up in the AM.
