The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #307 - The Braidy Bunch
07.8.15
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.
While we endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight),
it is generally not possible. Please plan accordingly.
On this bike ride, you might expect:
- inconvenient passageways
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- disorientation
- reorientation
- "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- playgrounds, pool halls, bowling alleys, karaoke
- geocaching
- full moon picnics
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0
Furthermore:
- usually 20-35 miles
- usually some hills
- a medium pace (probably not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- few stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:
The Braidy Bunch
Here’s the story
of a weekly bike ride
that is doing its three hundred seventh route.
They have gone most everywhere ’round the city.
Their ride posts sure are cute.
Here’s the story
of a sprawling city
with places to explore second to none.
All you need is the vaguest of concepts
and halfway decent pun.
And you might think that you know where we’ll be going
or at least have a strong sense of a hunch.
But, my friend, you have got the wrong “Brady,â€
for this week we will become the BRAIDY Bunch.

Sincere apologies to Sherwood Schwartz
(30 miles; no hills worth mentioning; one unpaved stretch)

We must replace travel
as an adjunct to work
with travel as a pleasure.
