Aids Life Cycle recap Day 1: SF to Santa Cruz.  85 Miles.  

[epbp-blog]

Team EPBP makes a pit stop at Trouble Coffee and Coconut Club in SF before Aids Life Cycle registration last week.  The why I ride wall serves as a great reminder why these 9 decided to ride from SF to LA in 7 days.

The Brown Derby Dome _ Wilshire & Alexandria

"Los Angeles is known as a place ready to bulldoze its past in order to make way for what it sees as its future. This has less to do with instances of individual, architecturally-significant structures being demolished (though examples of this...

Wolfpack Hustle on the velodrome.  This was such a fun race to watch.  

[jiachi]

The annual Wolfpack Hustle Midnight Drag Race took a break from its location in the 2nd Street Tunnel, and set up the 1,000 feet sprint race on the historic 6th St. Bridge. Coincidentally enough, the 1932 bridge is in the midst of a replacement project, slated to tear down the existing...

If you drive on the streets of LA at night, chances are you've seen a pack of cyclists pass you by. There's no shortage of these night riding groups. But of all those rides, there's one that's a little more... exotic. It's called "The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time.” On a recent Wednesday night, KCRW’s Avishay Artsy strapped on a helmet and went to explore.

Nate's Benefit Carnival _ Douglas House, Echo Park

Good buddy Nate is riding his bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles as part of the annual AIDS Lifecycle.  As part of his fundraising efforts, he threw a neighborhood carnival, with “an AMAZING levitation artist and a HILARIOUS clown troupe, and FUN games!”

The Levitation Artist, Special Head.

Will Wright.  In jail.

Not only did this neighbor win the hula-hoop contest, she also won teh $50 gift card to Velo Love.

Golden Dragon Parade _ Chinatown

Happy Lunar New Year!  It’s the year of the Snake!  And if you didn’t already know, I love parades.  Especially small, local, community parades where barricades are non-existent, and spectator participation is encouraged.  No Rose Parade here.

In that spirit, the Echo Park Bike Posse might or might not have ridden our bikes through the parade - in our capes.

Good ol’ councilmember Tom LaBonge - on a mountain bike in the parade.

Did you know that loneliness is the most pervasive feeling? And it gets lonely biking solo in the asphalt streets of Los Angeles, especially trying to take up a whole traffic lane. That’s why one of my favorite activities is to bike in a group - safety and fun in numbers. If you’ve ever been...

“Boy, oh boy, do humans like to wrangle nature. We chop it, extract it from the ground, refine it, move it, dam it, shape it, smack it up, flip it, rub it down, just generally bend it to our will in every which way we can. Yeah. Do we ever.

And from this we get cities. We get food. We get...

Wednesday Night Passage Ride #185 Second Nature 

[jiachi]

What is moxie? Yes, it is the official soft drink of Maine. But it also equates to courage, determination, and a feeling of high energy. Fitting for the annual Tweed, Moxie, & Mustache Ride, hosted by C.I.C.L.E. I rolled out with the Echo Park Bike Posse and the Bodacious Bike Babes from the Eastside, hopped on the Red Line, and congregated at Valley Village Park in North Hollywood for a leisurely, classy stroll through the neighborhood.

The Passage Ride _ Do You Believe In Magic?

The passage of a few people through a rather brief moment in time. 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.
