Dear Ridazz,

Those who have brought you Midnight Ridazz for the past 3 years - the founders and organizers, who have planned routes, created flyers and spoke cards, led in the front and fixed flats in the rear - are stepping down. We are passing the ride on to others who have new energy and ideas.

We have proudly watched our ride grow from the original 8 to more than 1,300 Ridazz. We have accomplished our goals of increasing bicycle visibility and of contributing to the bicycle culture of Los Angeles. It has been a pleasure and an honor to pedal these streets with you, and now it is time for us to move on to new projects.

Now, the ride belongs to you - the Ridazz community.

Use www.midnightridazz.com as your community organizing tool. If you want to lead a ride or help a ride leader - step up and announce yourself on the website forum. You may also use the website to announce other rides that you are starting or leading on other days or in other parts of the city.

Thank you for the bike love and for 3 awesome years of exciting rides and great parties (remember Prom and Heavy Metal karaoke!). We look forward to going on YOUR rides.

Please ride safely! And try to help your fellow Ridazz!

Ride on,
Skull

PS: We encourage you all to keep riding and start rides in your local neighborhoods!

every time the pedals go round, the world gets saved a little bit more...

I love you guys! But what does "It has been a pleasure and an honor to pedal these streets with you, and now it is time for us to move on to new projects." mean?

I think that message is from like 2 years ago. It's quite inspiring indeed to see all that has happened since then.

Ride On!

i think it means that whoever had the brains enough to start this thing also had the brains enough to let it continue...

Wow. Ridazz will be 5 years old next February. The 2nd Friday of that month will be the day after Charles Darwin's 200th birthday, so I think it would be awesome to have a combined birthday party celebrating the evolution of Ridazz.

I want to start planning this now.
