Suggested list titles: "People who are the same person", or "People who are slower than Alex on all days!"

You know I will add to this particular conversation . . . in private.

Mikey – see you Saturday.

Final thought:

Is Sean Bonner ready to graduate to Cub Camp?

=== END OF THREAD ===

@sean bonner, do you have a chumby? can i borrow it?

LABDAN is gonna blow your minds!

freedom from oppression, freedom to potential.

What’s the administrative overhead for do-it-yourselfers like Semiotics of the Ride or 4SBB? Probably zero. I like to see EXACTLY where my money is going. What’s better than dumping money into a non-profit? Making it happen your own damn self. Whatever "it" may be.

Oil has peaked and we still have "cars on sale" ads on TV. We’re still talking about "planning" for bikes. That sounds like institutional support for cycling is in its infancy to me.

The one good thing about my generation is that we expect instant gratification. So that’s why these cool sounding 10 or 20 year plans don’t really satisfy us.

Alex, stop wasting space with your enumerations and add something to the conversation instead. As far as the ratings above go, I could care less about insulting my intelligence, but the Speed ratings are way off. And stop revealing people’s identities.

As evidence of this I submit these facts: I owe my current bike obsession 100% to Will Campbell and without him my old Kona mountain bike would probably still be sitting under some tarp rotting away. Every single week I either get dropped or come in firmly in dead last on the Wolfpack Hustle. I have no idea how to spell consiously. Or Consciously I guess. 2nd try. Not bad.

So, in honor of the fact that Mr. Amerri is wrong (everyone knows about Expo Bike Path right of way issues) – here are speed and intelligence ratings for the participants I know in this thread:

Speed:
1) Alex Thompson
2) Mikey Wally
3) Mihai Peteu
4) Sean Bonner
5) Will Campbell
6) Alex Amerri

Intelligence:
1) Alex Thompson
2) Sean Bonner
3) Mihai Peteu
4) Mikey Wally
5) Will Campbell
6) Alex Amerri

I would like to preemptively deny that the intelligence rating is determined purely by considering how recently you have publicly agreed with Alex Thompson. Also, these lists are not intended as an insult to Mr. Amerri, even though he is wrong.

Everybody take your vitamins!

What’s to justify? The river ride isn’t some novelty ride on the freeway/Let’s-go-to-Scoops-and-lay-down-elitefixie-skids-on-Helio ride. It’s the LACBC’s lead fundraising event — and a highly organized one at that. Support it and you’re helping enable one of the lead nonprofit cycling orgs in our county in their cause to promote and encourage cycling. Or don’t. Either way just try to get in that overtorqued headsets of yours that it ain’t some spur of the moment trek that they just pulled out of their saddlebags and stuck a pricetag on. GAH!

Just as an update to the BHPD SUV intimidation bit, I talked to the officer’s watch commander, and his attitude was that we should be happy that one of us didn’t get cited. Yes, of course I’ll file an official complaint, but I doubt any action will be taken afterwards. Complaining about this bullshit on blogs is THE BEST option we have right now, it’s the first thing anyone should do after being wronged by police. Get the story out there, get people’s contact info, and hopefully get a class action lawsuit going at some point in the future. That’s what put the LAPD in their place, no?
