LACM is monthly and BFF is annually. I think skipping 1 LACM won't hurt anybody. BFF FTW

Honestly... i inhale car exhaust on my 11 mile commute to work. Then I get to do the same on the way home...
I think LA people adapt... Fires? psssh, lets go mountain bike riding.
Kidding.. yeah that smoke sucks, it looked like someone dropped a bomb near the hollywood sign yesterday

you can probably do LACM and then the 9:30 BFF screening,
Or the 7:30 screening and the People's Ride.
AND - you can all come to the afterparty and GOLDSPRINTS at La Cita

Is LACM an MR ride?
This was the most organized ride I have ever been on. Especially with the 250 or so riders.
There were lots of cops out tonight, but whoever was leading the ride made us stop at red lights. So no hassles from Five O. The cops waved at us. Sheesh, that's never happened before. Plus the group was able to stay together. That never happens on MR rides. Was it because there were celebrities on the ride? I don't know. But MR rides should definitely take some lessons from the LACM playbook.

It was a good ride, except for the people who stole from the Rite Aid.
My girlfriends and I left at Western and Hollywood to get back to the Valley cause we didn't know where the People's Ride was going to go. Who were the celebrities on the ride?

wow its as if we were on two seperate rides. first time i ride in the back to help out stragglers and such. it was a hustle and we were dropped two times. The route was fine for a small 20-40 members group but for 300 it was midnight walkers
aksendz08.29.09 - 3:37 am

The fixed-geared rookies just never learn when to quit.
We need to document this dark side of MR and turn it into a Michael Bay film, complete with a climactic chase scene where a fixie-kid takes a sharp turn and sideswipes a gasoline tanker and makes it explode!!!
Or another speedster goes flying out of control and slams into a beach-cruiser, taking out an entire city block!!!

i have no idea who the veterans are man
but i met a lot of people around my age (i'm 31), and the youngsters i talked with (like this dude name tores or mr. tower or something) were really cool and upbeat and full of energy
i don't really care what kind of bike they ride, if it's a fixie with no brakes though i just hope they show extreme caution is all, seeing this dude faceplant on wednesday tripped me out, we don't need any more of that...wow. SMACK! =

At the start, we gathered up all the ridazz we knew to help lead lacm. Stuart was calling out the turns, and I was helping with henry and others.

i was in the back a couple of times after corking and trying to show people which way we were going. there were a lottt of people.
i think we had a 1/2 mile of ridazz

it was much longer.
after we got out of the residential area on western we had a stretch of 1 mile of riders. I was corking for 5 min waiting for everyone to hustle up.

I agree. This ride was huge. It almost seemed to be the size of a Crank Mob ride.
How anyone was able to control it, was a small miracle. But people did step up, so good for them. Anyone who helped should get a pat on the back.

proposed/tenative lesson: when having a ride that turns into another ride involving an excess of 200 riders have a clearly designated leader + a General route know byb all
i think this dual set of priorities would have prevented 90% of the issues we had
or maybe i am out of my mind
nolikedrive08.29.09 - 1:41 pm

we had a ride leader, but he had bike troubles... i was leading the ride to the ride leader... but they wouldn't stop so fuzz attempted to lead them around until drooby's bike was ready to go and by that time it was already too late.
that was probably the biggest people's ride i've ever seen

I speak in generality. I ride a fair amount but this was my first LACM. I thought it was really well organized/executed.
Although it became disjointed around echo due to the difficulty of getting so many people on the same page I had a blast all night from when I saw packs headed to the start point from my appartment window in ktown until i got back 6 hours later.
