it better not be full of any of Alex Thompson's Westside-centric-annoyances.
Srsly, IT BETTER REPRESENT LA.
Since on that topic, we're already working on a Megaphone Culture Zine.
It's called EVERY THING'S BETTER AMPLIFIED.

@dak,
Can i get you to argue with Alex T about bike culture? Pro/Con style?
@Tern,
Cool, we're still a little disorganized right now, but I'll get back to you soon

Yes, LA-Centric please.

@erock, Alex Thompson? Nah. He's too small time. Maybe someone a bit more significant. Like Fluffer.
the reverend dak03.19.08 - 1:49 pm
reply
Fluffer definitely needs a rant.....
Keep in mind guise, I'm diggin' all the suggestions, but we've been talking about this for a while, so don't get butthurt if we end up ignoring you...

"megaphone culture = how to fart into a megaphone"
Only a fluffer would fart into his own megaphone. The rest of us would only fart into your megaphone.

Hey e-rock, maybe you could get one of those 2000 yard megaphones for free in order to write a review.

jc, don't get butt hurt because your joke didn't flow.. there's always a second chance for this thread to get hijacked again...
e-rock03.19.08 - 2:59 pm

very original idea, ideasculptor.
did you think of that on your own?
just for you, I'll fart in your MOUF!!!!!
spiraldemon03.19.08 - 2:59 pm

Agreed - Dak is too small time.
Dak is getting it, in the mouf.

Fluffer, you wanna go?!?
I'll bet your ass saturday night, before crank mob after riding 300km, and still have time for the babes

@Alex Thompson, did you say something? When I see you in person, and you open your mouf, all I see are nuggets of bullshit falling out of it. Your words on the screen are very much the same, except digital.
@erock, I have a couple things I'd like to submit for your approval. I will contact you directly. I think the idea is awesome. Someone should definitely publish some sort of mag or zine about LA's bike scene.

O hay! What a good idea, a bike mag. It makes me smile.
You may now continue infighting.

Please include some articles relating to us lone-wolf's out here in the bad-lands.
Then I'll distribute these things to the local, pockets of various cyclists that actually exist out here.
Tough, because I only see them on the weekends on those rare, times that I'm up and riding at 6:30 AM.
bentstrider03.19.08 - 7:20 pm

those times better be when you havent gone to bed yet...
proper ridazz, like vampires, go to bed when the sun comes up.
speaking of which, why havent we done a vampire ride?

I would certainly be interested in contributing. I actually had planned out a similar idea with user soso as a potential culture enhancing with a side of donations for the ALC team. However time commitments with work interfered and never got things off the ground.
I have a big list of article ideas. Also have a bunch of copies of Urban Velo and a stack of other bike zines that I purchased as reference material. The school I went to produced a zine as part of a class, and I have copies of those as well, a lot of creative stuff was done . I also have a copy of the book "Whatcha Mean, What's a Zine?" which is chock full of inspirational information from numerous zine creators who are contributers to the book.
I can possibly contribute writing, illustrations, layout design & photography with bits of free time I can scrap together.

Will there be product reviews? I like to buy things, I like to write stuff, and I like to take pictures of myself with said stuff. Yay!

Digital nuts of shit = ha ha ah ahahahhahahhahah
@bentstrider
it would be cool to do a day in the life of bentstrider ride. Go up there and force people to ride long desolate stretches of road solo, wrestle Gila monsters, and jump in the cabs of big rigs and toot the horn. AWZUM! Then write about it and make it lame!

guise!
I'm really digging these attitudes and enthusiasm.
We will be discussing content over the next couple weeks and would like to have any ideas submitted to us IN WRITING for these meetings, no later than April 5th. If we think that we can use your ideas for issue zero awesome, otherwise, there's always space in the next issue!
Once again, send all abstracts/ideas/adverts/suggestions to:
la.bike.mag (at) gmail.com

I want to see an interview of the people that confront a large group of ridazz and is ready to kick ass. Like the dude that came out of his apartment with a big ass stick ready to kick ass on 20+ ridazz cause they're making noise. This happened in the morning hours before the marathon. I want to know what makes them think they can take on 20+ ridazz.
BTW, this has happened at least four times on different rides I've been on.
