I did not ride cos i left my bike at my aunt's house at north portland but at the world naked bike ride at chinatown possibly going to da douchebag club nearby in his escalade and ran over two bikes. i, fully clothed and not on my bike with my cousins at fourth and burnside, ran to chase and try to get his liscense plate number but they've probrably got it on you tube or something. but yeah, pretty shitty but overall a good ride to see from a spectator standpoint. i return to l.a. on sunday and sorry if i missed the alphabet soup ride.

sorry. two bikes. not cyclists. I don't know if there's video of it but there's gotta be some photos of it that happened. the world naked bike ride rolled out through chinatown around midnight and i was with my cousins from portland where we were walking to a bar to chill after my cousin's graduation party from psu. by the time we walked to fourth and burnside, we heard some screams that was like a rally and i was surprised the ride occurred at midnight. so after 5 minutes of cheering and stuff, some dude in an escalade got impaitent and rolled his car in the middle of the ride not hitting any cyclists in his path but then was stoped by the corkers. he just budged against the corker and in a minute was driving over two bikes out of frustration. luckily no one was hurt but it was cool to see his two tires flattened by retaliation in the middle of the ride via berkley critical mass some time ago.
when the bike path was clearing out i tried to get my phone camera to get his license plate but he drove off to get to some nearby club at chinatown.
sbt for the 4am rant, but yeah it was not cool witnessing it for the first time.

Noble Experiment is from the future. Or maybe the driver was.

I also fell asleep on my flight through a near mid air miss to a stop in boise and I woke up to a bunch of coke cans lying on the floor during landing. a cool middle aged guy told me everybody was screaming.
