Since today is the only day in America when people actually try to appear grateful for the things they have, I'd like to take this chance to follow suit...
Thanks for my bikes! Without them, I would be walking and I don't like walking.
Thanks for my helmet! It saved my skull three times this year.
Thanks to Los Angeles! Your streets are full of adventure, danger and fun.
Speaking of which, thanks for fun! Fun is awesome but I would have much less fun if it weren't for everyone here so...
Thanks to ALL Midnight Ridazz! I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love you all.
HAPPY T[OF]URKEY DAY!!!

I'm thankful for all of the sexy man-ass that I've seen on the beaches after rides.
And uh....well-- I guess you guys are pretty rad too.

Thanks for the wonderful people who started this site. It's power to draw people together is simple and perfect. And to allow people to use it free of charge and at their own discretion is reaffirming to my belief in humanity. Riding bikes with new & interesting people in LA has the been the highlight of an otherwise craptastic year.

Thanks for onethirtynine's helmet. I cannot emphasize this enough. My brain is stretched to the limit with bewilderment at how to express this. It is like yoga . . . FOR YOUR BRAIN!
onethirtynine's helmet, I salute you.

Yeah no kidding!! This site does bring together a somewhat diverse group of people and unite them for one cause. That cause of course is ta party like it's 2999!!!!
Thanks to RB for not acting like a dictator and trying to conquer our more vulnerable bike groups in the world.
Thanks to all for bringing your energy to the game.
Thanks all the turkeys that gave it their all this day. This must be one hell of a 9/11 for you guys.
And finally I too would like to thank all the man asses I had to look at while we were riding. It has inspired me to ride harder. I am making a vow to myself to be in front of all the rides next year!

I'm thankful for pretty much all the reasons mentioned above.
If it wasn't for you guys, cycling for me would've been another dull hobby shelved due to lack of audience participation.
I'm touched.

I give thanks for Brooklyn, NY. For Sihanoukville, Cambodia. And for Portland, OR. I give thanks for Los Angeles.
I give thanks for the Yellow Schwinn (or Jim, named after my dad). I give thanks for the Squeaky Nishiki (or Doug, named because no one's named Doug anymore). I give thanks for the one I haven't bought yet, the single-speed mixte with the drops. But mostly I give thanks to the bike I borrowed, Jessica's bike, in 1999. And thanks to you, Jessica.
I give thanks for the Midnight Ridazz. I give thanks for C.R.A.N.K. Mob, my first group ride in LA. And I give thanks for Joose ... kind of.
I give thanks for the LA County Bike Route Map.

My non-bike friends were giving me shit.....a long time before this site came up....about talking biking and bike rides, all the time.
It has been a while since then, and a number of them are riding bikes reagularly now. MR had a big part of it for some of my friends.
They heard what I had to say about the pure joy that I get from riding bikes....but they didn't think the solitary act of riding a bicycle could be engaging. So, once I hooked up with ridazz, more of them were willing to give it a try. And, a bunch of them are still riding....some in fast-paced rides, some of them commuting, and most of the former complainers are still going on ridazz rides.
Thanks MR/
