This friday LACM stalks caucus on the black plains of angels. When the carosaurus bellows we are the frenzied screams that answer back.
This ride is highly hijackable, all inclusive, very obtrusive, bring your mother, race your brother tell no one not to tell everyone that LACM rocks your two-wheeled world.
The only voting that counts is the voting done in the saddle, while riding, mega-screaming, face grinning; one rider left behind is all riders left behind.
Come one, come all; scheduleless people of the foot party known as cycling!! We will ride past 7-Eleven, we will perform feats of death at 7-Eleven, we will ride with 7-Eleven, FUCK, we may not even stop at 7-Eleven........THAT'S the madness sure to erupt when the blood of caucus are spilled in the name of CRITICAL MASS!

Actually our first stop might be Bogies Liquor (Wide assortment of 40's. Donut shop next door, bathrooms at the adjacent Burger joint) Let's face it, 7-Eleven on Wilshire has been getting all our money and they never show us any real love. Besides we should spread the wealth.

I'm going to be in from NY. Never been to LA and I'm trying to do this ride. Anybody want to let me borrow a bike? I'm serious. Please.

Most us only have one working bike.... we all have parts but not a complete bike lying around.
You can buy a cheap beater, http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/bik/587132753.html
use it for the LACM and tooling around town, then sell it or give it away before you go back to NYC.

User102.27.08 - 12:51 pm
reply
yes it was.
USER1, you get nothing from me. I once thought I would offer you a 'hard time', but that is no longer available.
You bring nothing, you give nothing, you just want to take, take, take.
The Firefox spelling suggestion was made long before by Borfo.
By the way firefox's US English dictionary is the most limited spell check I have ever used.
So the offer of barter is denied. It wouldn't have even been a barter anyways, you gave me advice that was already posted here.
Ego lessons, that not what you need. Ego, is that left hand slap to me ,USER1? It's not funny. If you really want me to give you the lesson in life that would do you some good. I will consider it. You have to really want it. My experience with you, tells me that it is something that you would never embrace.
I will give you a teaser. Without it, you could never keep hold of a women.
sexy02.27.08 - 1:17 pm
reply
Yes sir! That's why they call me the reaper! Take take take LOL
You're right! Spell check would DUE you no good!
And I asked for a ego lesson cause I would like to know how to be able to NOT say "my bad" or "sorry" and continue on like nothing ever was wrong. I don't need a life lesson, but thanks for the offer.
Finally who saids I'm trying to keep a woman? Who saids I don't value my freedom more? Here's a lesson for you, but I'm sure you know this by now with your father. With every partnership there's some thing you give up, it's called freedom. Sure you may gain something that you don't have with freedom, but that is not a guarantee.
User102.27.08 - 1:31 pm
reply
there is no reason to say "my bad" or "sorry" and continue on like nothing ever was wrong, when it is a grammar or spelling error, its doesn't really hurt anybody.
When somebody is looking to poke, make fun of other, put the another person down for a grammar or spelling error, then there is especially no reason for the person who made the grammar error to even recognize it, its been brought to the person attention already, NEGATIVELY.

You would at least want to check that out before you answer! See this is why I need a ego boost! How do I go forward with all the confidence that I'm right? Never to question if I'm wrong or not? And even if I am, to totally ignore it?
I would prefer you using hansomebwonderful2001cause it gives more of a clue as to who you are, but if you must, I can give you handsomebwonderful2001@yahoo.com if you must have it.

i got a crappy girls bike that I bought for Salton Sea, not the best, but not bad either, just a little rust here and there. The wheels are straight, it peddles good. Just not a racer, it like one of those $200-$350 hybird from back in the early 90's. what is she looking to ride. What is her height. If she is tall, she can use that road bike I mentioned before.

LACM will probably do a quick rest stop at the Beverly Gardens Park on Santa Monica Blvd and Beverly Drive, probably between 9:30pm and 10pm That would be the perfect place to join with the Venice Critical Mass. Then we could do a "Circle of Death" in Beverly Hills together. We could ride around the area enmasse for a while, then the VCM can take off and return to the beach, while LACM can head back towards their start point.

UPDATE ON TIFFANY'S BIKE RIM:
It can't be fixed. SKD can get a new rim for $45 from Bikecology. If anyone wants to contribute to the Tiffany bike fund please give whatever you can/want to SKD or myself. look at my profile to see what I look like. I'll be in a blue flannel and levis on a peugeot.
Any left over cash if there is any i'd like to give to David, the rida that got his bike stolen a few weeks back helping a drunk rida out. He shelled out $500+ for a new bike since his Redline was his only form of transportation. It's for a good cause and he doesn't have a money tree.

What happened at Highland and Hollywood with the guy in the black SUV. He came out of his car, which was surrounded by the "Circle of Death", and confronted three riders. Did it get ugly? Damn, the tourists were snapping so many pictures it looked like a Britney Spears paparazzi swarm.

AWSOME NIGHT!!!!!!! The best CM since I started riding, we had a estimate of about 150 peeps! Thanks Barley and Annie for your playlists. BBD, always great to see you riding, I know you weren't planning on coming. Brass, luckily you told those other 2 people what to do, cause I would of been looking for a fireplace in side your pad. I dont know, dont ask, it just made sense at that time! Brass did everything turn out o.k.? Dont forget to charge up the battery for the RHPS tonight.

sexy: no problem! you both seemed to really hit it off. he really liked your fuzzy white ear muffs. when i saw you two sharing the jelly filled donut and licking each others fingers clean, i knew it was a match made in donut heaven.

LACM is back!!!. Los Angeles Critical Mass was absolutely amazing last night. The turn out and playlist's we're superb. The circles of death we're real exciting, all three of them. Alago House party rocked! DJ'sTrickmills, M Joe, and Skamble blessed the tables. Overall I had a fasinating evening....Thank you all.

annie,
HE?
I guess that ok, your friend is from San Fransisco right. When you have a certain something, with a certain someone, it shouldn't matter what they are. I'm just happy for the experience.
You think we could stop by donut shops more often. I wish your friend was around for that bad idea, donut shop ride. Maybe I'll do my own tour de donut shops of LA,

Here is a video of the second
"Circle of Death" at Beverly and La Brea, courtesy of Seth Trotter.
You will have to log into Facebook to see it. It should be up on Youtube soon as well.

You noticed that i was absent from last night's ride MAMBB? It should be pretty obvious from your playlist WHY i didn't show up this time.....

Your right Annie, it's just another social network used to gather information about lifestyle and spending habits so it can be used to market products and services.
But I like to use the system to break the system.

I had a lot of fun and was grateful to have met some cool people there too. I'll definitely be doing these rides as often as possible.

Eric,
Do you have anymore of those white LACM stickers? They looked cool and I would be grateful if I could get another one.
I gave mine away to a girl...yeah I know.
If you have an extra one, hit me up with it at the next ride.

I've got some pictures but I've gotta develop/ print them, so that'll take while and they'll probably never end up on here.

James,
I'll see you at the Mayfair/Gelsons. You bring the pics to work one day, give 'em to me and I'll scan 'em. Then I can post them up here for you.

Yo Mike... thanks man. That shiet was crazy. Circles of death at the busiest intersections... crazy. Such a great ride... and great people.

SKD, I might be able to find you another sticker. I usually give away everything I make, often forgetting to keep one for myself. Every month is something different, so to those that didn't get a sticker, next month will be exclusively March LACM stickers.
If anyone has pics of the stickers in use, post 'em post 'em post 'em. Like I said, I rarely keep one for myself, so it's good to be able to visit them, even if it's just online.
Rad ride, rad people.
Love you all.
Eric Hair03.2.08 - 1:21 pm

No prob Eric. You do good work on those stickers. I have the one from last month. Who knew the turnout was going to be so huge this time and the demand for those stickers so great.
Anyway, I am sure the March one will be just as cool.

Al,
My favorite pic is the one of the black SUV stranded in the middle of the Hollywood and Highland, surrounded by the Circle of Death.
It is metaphorically poetic.

great night. sorry i drank my manners away and cut the line at the 7-eleven/some store eric. i'll buy u one next time to make up. :)
i was suprised at the turnout since lacm was dwindling last i rode it. dude from texas almost got his ass whipped. woulda been funny to see dak throw his bike on that dude's car. maybe next time we can all ride on the sidewalk.

skd,
It's not a matter of being scanner-less in a matter of me not being able to process my own color negatives...but i'll do my best to get that shit to wallgreens before next month's CM and put them on here/ flickr just for you.

This ride was great ride, but not my favorite LACM. Close, but not quite. My fav was a mid summer ride that lasted to almost 2am last year!

James,
Thanks for the Gelsons tip, but I live in the 'hood. I see the cashiers drinking at the local bars....drinking a lot by the way. So I will refrain from pilfering any items.
Carry the film of the LACM with you, if I see you at work, hand it off to me. .I'll take it in Walgreens and have it developed. I will then scan all the pics and bring you a CD and the prints.
