I stole this from HTATBL, who apparently got it from this person.
Yes, autoworkers’ jobs are important. But how many examples do we need to see that Laissez Faire capitalism is a total fucking farce and that huge top-heavy corporations with extravagant CEO salaries are, and have always been, taking money right out of our pockets?
I’m pissed!
Back to posts about bikes and bike riding soon. Probably. I hope.
This should be called the urban-escape double! Why am I not riding it? I went out to the start this morning to help Shaun, who so far is doing a bang up job on organizing this, and that was the thought I had. As you can see a hardy crew set out at 9am (!!) to get in 200 miles almost literally around Los Angeles.
Here is a map of the pit stops. The lines are obviously as the crow flies (no riding in the ocean or on freeways on this ride). I rode out to the first stop in Rosemead and turned around there for a sweet 40 mile ride.
Probably funny to only a very few people.

Rolling dolo on some post-feast single track. A chill 16 mile out and
back along the river. Working off all that tofu.
Depending on your personal inclination, this photo, taken minutes
after my previous post, will either make you appreciate CA more or
reinforce your negative opinion. The guy called it 'ridable art',
which, again, may influence you in either direction.
Spray tanning at the beach?
I'm at a starbucks (waiting for a craigslist ride) that is basically
in a parking lot of a grocery store and has a drive-thru. Is this the
pinacle of human civilization? Is this our culture?
If the objects in this photo mean anything to you, chances are:
1. You were ‘down’ in the mid to late 90’s
2. You pronounce zine the correct way
3. You own colored limited edition vinyl
4. You think $10 is way too much to see your favorite band play
5. You and I are probably only separated by a few degrees
