Is this the kind of cultural event that Dida was hoping for?

I still don't quite get what this ride is all about... but as long as there are rides I support them!

THIS SUCKS !
I'm calling this RACIST and OFFENSIVE !
When did MR start allowing segregated rides on the forum ?
If I posted a ride called no Black guys or No Mexicans everyone would be screaming
RACISM AND CALLING IT RACIST.
The spirit of Midnight Ridazz is for everyone to join and ride together.
The title of the ride may be intended to be cute but it promotes division.

A "no white man" ride heading down "Country Club" then stopping at STARBUCKS to decide whether to head down Pico to go to the beach in Santa Monica? Saying "if not,
hang in the hood and lets see how long you last", when the ride takes place in the morning/early afternoon and doesn't go south of Pico?
This is adorable.
People can debate about where the "hood" begins, but I'm pretty sure the Westside north of Pico is generally not considered the "hood" by just about anyone.
The only thing that would make this ride more stereotypically white/Westsiderish is if the ride stopped at Rancho Park to hit the driving range or play 9 holes on the way to the beach. (Which, by the way, would be AWESOME!)
I don't know if you're messing with us Bernie, but this actually sounds like it would be a fun ride if it were a little more inclusive.
(In an unrelated note, for those of you actually interested in riding in South L.A., Sunday 6/17 will have a ride from South L.A. to Watts, which should be amazing. More details here - https://www.facebook.com/events/238539966254387/ )

maybe since the ride is in the middle of the day, near the longest day of the year, and he says no sunblock will be distributed, he's just trying to warn fair-skinned, untanned people??

Yeah, I saw that at first too, but I thought, "Wow that's really quite a lot of effort to really be just a joke"... Thanks for bringing it home. & Kill Whitey!

I was curious how someone would call that route "in the hood" as well. But according to Bernie's blog he lives in west LA and in one entry he refers to the Ronald Reagan building as being in the "seediest" part of downtown. So maybe he just hasn't been out of the west side in so long that he thinks these parts of LA are "bad"? Or maybe it's just a big joke since he looks pretty "white" in his pic.

'sky' is usually Russian

So this must be what they call 'white guilt'. Either way sounds like a lame ride to me.

I think the misunderstanding is that Bernie forgot the comma:

Bernie,
What would we do without you?
The best reply was about shagging a bucket at the golf course on the Westside (not the public one, of course).
I want a T shirt with the logo. The new official minority.
Ride On

Been away from these rides for years and just logged on to the site today to see this shit. I'm sick of guilty white people who are so extremely scared to speak out and be called a "racist". How about we have a No Mexicans and Blacks ride. That's no different from what you're doing here. I can't believe the people running this site don't take your ride post down. Now I remember why I stopped riding with MR. Bunch of stupid hipsters.

Will there be a chaperone at the Reptilians Ride? Moji would like to attend, but as his legal guardian I feel compelled to be concerned for his safety.

Felipe, dog, its me, Bernie.......take a breath...if these rides
ain't about having fun, lets all join the wheelmen and ride around in spandix.
Humor boy, humor....its the only thing that lasts.
Just trying to fun a ride that's set up for all those poor folks who's wives/husbands/domestic partners/whatevers, don't let them ride late at nite but maybe will let them off collar for a Sunday ride.
Suspect a few white guys may ride despite the prohibition- here's one white guy that will.
But if you ever call me a hipster again, I will sue your ass just to show you how wrong you are.

actually i was having a really bad day when i wrote that rant. I don't care what anyone does or call their ride. I still think its stupid though, but who cares what I think, I live too far away now to go on MR rides. I met a lot of good people at MR rides and some ok hipsters i guess. I like the reptilian ride idea, someones been listening to david icke. Have a good ride

yeah, about 5 people had a really good time -- with little or no traffic
LA Live was a trip due to X Games being set up === they let us test out the BMX course so we had to wear helmets.
and a GREAT
food stop at this food truck that converted its truck to a restaurant stall over at Pico and Robertson called; KOMODO --------SEE: www.komodofood.com. Cheap, clean and vegi/ new age/ California taco stuff that was great to eat when hungry.
Hope it stays at 5-10 simpatico folks who cruz thru Pico Union on Sundays. We'll do it like every two weeks.
