The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #173: Plus Ça Change
11.7.12
One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations,
their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the
encounters they find there.
It's a bike ride.
Started by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.
It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
We'll endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight).
On the fourth year of this bike ride, you might expect:
- more inconvenient passageways
- more full moon picnics
- perhaps more "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- certainly more amateurish enthusiasm
- disorientation
- reorientation
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- dance parties
- karaoke
- imaginary histories
- scavenging for fun and sustenance
- more geocaching
- more oblique strategies
- more Oulipian constraints
- traffic median tea parties
Furthermore:
- A medium pace (maybe not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- We're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light.
- Maybe some distance; maybe some hills
- Victory donuts!

This week:
Plus Ça Change
So now we have all this change. Double the change! Change squared! Does the world feel any different today?
Possibly. But possibly not. The world being in constant change, it probably depends on whether this new change
is different from the old change that you were used to. It's a complicated thing, the change, and now we have so
much, it's hard to even know what to do with it. Maybe the best way to sort it all out is to just go for a bike ride?
True, it's the same old thing for a Wednesday night, but that could be just the change you need. Vive la
différence!
This week:
Neither especially long nor especially hilly.
No off-road riding, but some of that pavement has seen better days.
Talk, talk, talk...

The hacienda must be built.
