for the riders cause? as far as im concerned it is as much as any ride. every ride furthers to popularize biking and well isnt that the point. the more people on bikes the less in cars, the better off everyone is. so what if nike is a fucked up company, then how about you dont get you picture taken and drink all their beer.

I know I talked a lot of shit about this ride before I ever went on it but after doing it once I have to agree with larsen.
This is one of many cycling events that doesnt really embody the "midnight ridazz ideal" however it is fun.
I had a good time on the last one.
You dont have sign a waiver to ride..... unless you want to drink the free pabst at the finish.
Call me a sell-out if you want but fre beer is free beer.... lets finish last and make sure they run out of pabst before we leave.

RBI is wrong, as usual.
Theyre going to be photographing everything you wear. Pretty soon those nifty hip bags made in DTLA and mainly sold at orange 20 are going to be made in malaysia with a reflective swoosh on them. You might even see some staged shots of kids on fixies dressed as peter pan. PBS did a documentary on market research called "the merchants of cool."

I went last week almost by accident.
What a chaotic cluster-fuck of a ride.
Like a cross between crankmob and wolfpack.
But blasting at my own pace from hwhood to dtla and back with a group of cool people was actually pretty fun.
Free snacks and beer wasn't bad either.
I 100% can not understand how Nike can support this it was a disaster waiting to happen.
All the risk of Wolfpack with none of the discipline, leadership, or camaraderie. Not as fast but at times, much more hectic.
It only commercialization if you buy it. Period. It has nothing to do with Midnight Ridazz really. Its the Jockified Corpratized version of what we do. But some how it was funner than that sounds. Whatevz. I'd go this week but I am
Djing at Barcade. So yeah ... Fuck Nike ... skip this ride and buy beers at above free prices and hear music that its 1,000,000x better. Yey I hijacked the NIKE thread. I'm a sellout hijacker.

I just got home from this ride.
It was not bad at all.
I do not buy Nike stuff, and I'm way out of their target demographic.
I loved the faster pace, but this led to the splintering of the group of 100 plus riders early in the ride. The fastest ones quickly disapeared when groups behind them got stopped at traffic lights. The cops seemed to be expecting us, the way they monitored us on Sunset from Vermont to Glendale blvd. I stoped at most of the red lights and watched the blinkies slowly fade into the distance. Some folks got tickets for running reds.
That said, I settled into a group doing a brisk pace. We covered 21 miles in a little more than an hour.
So, I loved the faster riding, which is hard to come by in most rides outside of Wolfpack. The food was tasty and the beer was cold (and free).
They took my picture, but they can do what they want with my thrift store cut off knickers and bike nashbar jersey. I really don't think Nike needs to do product research at this level anyway.
For a fun packed evening, all the food I could eat and beer I could drink, I spent $2.50 for the metro to and from Long Beach.
Not bad, not bad at all.

the ride itself was pretty cool. i was really interested in what Nike was doing and who organized it. Apparently the principal organizers were a bunch of guys from a high-end sneaker store called "undefeated." the route was cool, although the "ride," which consisted of people of all skill levels, ended up getting pretty stretched out. there was a cubcamp-speed hustle in the front and a slow mosey in the back.
Nike had some photographers and a videographer and were getting a ton of pictures of us. it was definitely a unique experience. as for the food, the blueberry crumb bars were off the hook.
i probably wouldnt have had fun if i didnt know half the people who were there. i also saw a few people i knew from outside of MR, which was nice. a lot of people showed up at 8 for the party, so the ride wasnt actually required to get the free food. it was funny to see a lot of "hollywood socialites" who showed up to be seen. stilline started screaming at the end "why are there so many girls here who don't ride?"

The actual crux of the argument was a personal matter, thank you, and police saw them off to separate budget motels for the duration of the alcohol.

If MR isnt a breeding ground of cool, then why do most riders look/dress the same?
You dont have to buy Nike... but they've been in cycling longer than most of you.
If Nike wants to promote cycling--Im all for it... get more people on bikes... does it come at a cost, sure-- a few wacks lose their obscure sense of cool....
exploitation? where are your bikes made?
Hate oil, what about the oil on your bikes?
Love the environment? can is still ride on trails?
Gonna criticize Nike, when MR is filled with drug references, riding moms, and selling sex... how is MR any different?
If MR was promoting something valuable, you might always not notice from the ride postings.
Is Mom Riders, the best we can do?

I try to buy local as much as I can. the issue is that the sooner homespun products are produced in sweatshops, the sooner the people who produce them locally go out of business.
that said, i still think its for the best if Nike wants to "promote cycling." i met the guys who work at that expensive sneaker shop that put on the ride. they were pretty cool guys. i'd never spend that much on a sneaker, but they were cool guys. if their corporate sugar daddy wants them to have a good time, invite their friends and drink their booze so they can take pictures of us, so be it.
if you want to change Nike, why not wear a shirt that lets Nike know that you think American-made clothing is cool? it worked for American Apparel! when Nike decides that it's good business to stop exploiting people in the third world, they will--if only to the extent that it helps their bottom line.

i guess what i'm trying to say is that Nike's decision to spend more money on sponsorships such as Lance Armstrong, while cutting costs on labor is all a part of a grand business model.
imagine if they had spent more money to give their workers a fair wage: would they have taken a chance sponsoring a cancer survivor who was deluded enough to think he would race again?
the question is "what sells?" so don't blame Nike for putting coolness and athleticism above fair working conditions; blame the consumer (ruinedbyidiots) for supporting them.

Well, RBI, in the grand scheme of things, sure.... but whats your point... we're all specks. Unless you're having am existential moment, I dont see how that even applies to their comment.
The point is that MRs are the last to talk about the affects of "cool" and countering the notion... MR is built on "cool" at this point...
More than half the bikes you see on rides are built with cool in mind... a ton of bikes are trying to emulate the notion of a "cool bike". What you see are these half-ass projects, that serve very little to the rider's needs.
Moreover, bike shops cater to the same research that nike is doing. Orange 20 (i only bring them up because its probably sensitive to some) stocks a plethora of items that are superfluous in nature...
Riding around town doesnt require half the components you throw on your bike. I see more rider's on dope bikes, but barely can ride the machine, let alone take advantage of the craftsmanship behind the components.
The point: dont hate on Nike, when MR has a bunch cleaning up to do.
I think Debut213 knocked the Nike ride, called others sellouts, then gets his bike stolen at the event (unless i understood it wrong)...
In my mind, rides like Mom Ridaz, sold MR out.

it's not about clothing trends, its about business trends. American Apparel is the largest clothing manufacturer in the US, and operates stores around the world.

their workers earn a much better wage than other garment workers in DTLA. their employees overseas earn a better wage than other sweatshops. it's still an evil corporation, but part of their marketing strategy is to allow consumers to feel good about buying $30 t-shirts by ADVERTISING that they offer FAIR WAGES to their workers. the motivation is irrelevant; fair wages are part of AA's marketing approach, and that's what makes them unique.

so his "ethical" business practices are overshadowing his sexual deviancy. you are defending a pervert who uses ads like this to sell clothes. remember that.

not really looking for you... just noted your comments... you can sit still.
thanks for the invite... but Im pointing out the lack of creativity in naming a ride.. i could careless if the ride is fun or not... how would that change the opinion about a ride titled: Mom Ridaz?
Are you riding moms on the ride?
What is so special about riding a woman who has given birth at some point?
Why not Dad ridaz?
Why not 3rd cousin ridaz?
I have feeling the name has nothing to do with what is actually done on the ride, hence it is merely a lack of creativity or imagination... sure we can be immature now and then, but why push it as far as naming your weekly ride something like that?
a naked pregnant woman holding a beer? thats too easy! flip off the camera? come on...
Have fun, but I doubt thats what the OG's envisioned, but maybe I'm wrong, as you noted, Im entitled to my opinion.
I just wonder if there were a time when minds joined and said, "lets start a ride", and mom ridaz, was so readily agreed upon... Im not dissing, we're all grown, couldn't we think of something "better"?
But maybe fighting will solve the issue...

Well like it or not mr. anonymous guy, MoM RiDAzZ are here to stay! If you didnt know the name is an inside group joke, then your denser than salt water <--hahaha i actually took one of rbi's lines. Seriously though, give us a try were not all bad! We have had rides that help the homeless with food, as well as rides that helped kids learn how to ride bikes! Were not perfect! We are all inclusive, so if u wanna give us a try, dont hesitate. We have two diffrent days of riding on the calander you can come check us out .
Saturday is lead by Drooby and is a meduim-slow paced party on wheels, or you can come check mine out on tuesdays, we ride hard and long. Drinking is not encouraged since we actually do ride faster than a 15 mph pace. i alternate with donnie darko every other week and he likes to redo the saturday party feel drooby puts on.
and maybe fighting will resolve this or maybe not. your welcome to try your luck.

the fighting reference was a joke about how online posters tend to think that fighting trumps any point... i guess it didnt come across that way....
I mentioned it has nothing to with the content of your rides.
let me put this in a little context
The thread was about a Nike ride.
some (yourself) called out riders as sellouts if they attend
other mentioned MR is not about commercialism or whatever
I referenced Debut213 as a way of showing the inconsistency on/in MR
Debut213 ends up attending the Nike ride and gets his bike stolen
I called out Mom Ridaz because it promotes a kind of attitude that in my understanding is antithetical to MR = hence who is selling what out? call out Nike, but what about some of the shit that is promoted on MR?
I'm suggesting any of you are bad guys... never said it. But your response seems to be automatic because you know the implications that your group name and ads can provoke. You're well aware, but don't seem to care. Thats cool, but then why knock others for attending a Nike event (which you end up attending), when Mom Ridaz promotes smoking weed (not that its "bad"--but you should ride sober), riding momz (whatever you claim that means), and overall a easily assumed disrespectful attitude to women in general (whether you meant it or not). What do you imagine Mom Ridaz means to the public? Come on... and inside joke?
Is this what MR is about? I think it is about all the other things that you do, which can get missed in the ride title. Again, i never knocked the ride itself...

i dont think he went on the nike ride, and he certainly didnt get his bike stolen on it. he reposted something a craigslist ad about a bike stolen from the ride.

"I think Debut213 knocked the Nike ride, called others sellouts, then gets his bike stolen at the event (unless i understood it wrong)... "

You must be new here or something cause lots of us ride mom ridazz and we know what its about.
You think Mom ridazz is the only ride that promotes weed smoking? Again... you must be new here.
Debut didnt go to the ride or get his bike stolen there. He simply pointed out that someone else ( I actually know who) got his bike stolen at the ride.
Read first. then speak.
Also please introduce yourself. I bet we have met before and dont know it.

I'm July, nice to meet you.
We might've met on a ride by now but I'm introducing myself again anyways.

just an example...
but thats fine... like Ive mentioned... MR is inconsistent.
You really have to figure out what you want MR to be "perceived" as. Plus Debuts comments could be taken as referring to his bike, but that doesnt really matter, Ill gladly accept that I was mistaken about his attitude or hypocrisy...
I dont get what is being missed here?
If i called a ride, the racist ride, but claimed the title is an inside joke, and if you actually rode the racist ride, you would find out that were the most diverse group ever... does not change the "perceived" idea of what MR is promoting...
Again, much of the talk on MR is about MR being perceived as x,y,z.... and complaining abut how other ruin it for MR.
Look we all love bikes and riding them.... but youre going to walk a thin line calling others out, while MR has some cleaning up to do too.

So anyways you made your point.
Now introduce yourself (sans rhetoric) so we can get to know the person we are talking to instead of just arguing semantics.

What Midnight Ridazz is:
-Fun
-Friendships
-Non Confrontational
-Family
-Compassionate
-Open - Minded
-Multi-cultural
What Midnight Ridazz is NOT:
-Mean Spirited
-Political
-Commercialized
-Non-inclusive
-Abrasive
-Protest
I don't see anything about me riding your mom in there. In fact i see family and open-minded in the what midnight ridazz IS section.
