CRANK MOB AWESUM

 Thread started by

I see we have the usual post ride negativity in full swing.  Please post about that in another, more appropriate thread.
I'm here to point out that CRAKN MOB was absolutely amazing.  Back up and look at the big picture.  We had a huge ride - uncountably many people.  There were no injuries and a lot of new riders learned new modes of FUN.  The veterans refined their Eff You Enn technique.  CRANK MOB park was awesome.  Westside Pavillion traffic jam.  I missed it (stragglers), but apparently we shut down the street at Colorado and Ocean for a long time when we first showed up.
Paul's jump ropes catalyzed a moment which is the essence of CRANK MOB.  He broke em out in front of the Cannon at the SMCM park and Ridazz started jumping rope.  Within minutes a crowd partly Ridazz, mostly not, was standing three deep as everyone took turns jumping.  Some women, who probably had not jumped rope in years, were double dutching like pros.  It was the essence of CRANK MOB in that it made people come out of their shell and enjoy life the way a child does.  Alec, who is the FUNcillatater of the year, was so happy.  As I recall, he started the jump roping craze, and this night we saw it become the happy factory he always strives toward.
Mad props to Kieron for making it happen!

Careful y'all, don't get too far off topic.  You need to re-relate baby eating to CRANK MOB.  I have 69 things to read!
Here are some questions to better tie in baby eating back into positivity CRANK MOB
1)  Will the baby that CRANK MOB eat bust out of CRANK MOB's tummy like in Alien?  Will CRAMK NOB die in the process, or be reborn Phoenix like into a sparkling sunshine candyland, a glow?
2)  How does eating babies to the common CMOB practice of 
kitten or cheetah huffing?
3) 
Cronus Mob? Alex Thompson

After Crank Mob and Glow, I saw the sunrise (or more accurately, a gradual lightening of the gray sky) from atop Mulholland Drive yesterday. Then I came home, made banana pancakes and went to sleep. 60 miles of pure F.U.N.

Highlights of the night for me:
1. Franz sat and possibly drooled on my sleeping bag. I am never washing that thing again.
2. The bike-car! It is the best mode of transportation for flashing passer-bys known to man! YES, EVEN BETTER THAN HORSES!
3. No-pants dance! I think I was the only one hip enough to be clued-in about the no-pants part, the submarine people excepted.
REQUESTS:
1. Someone promised me photos of myself peeing on a cactus near the Venice canals. Please post the photo!
2 (to) Gabby from Thunder Thighs Boy: I totally would have gotten your number except I got carried away flashing from the bike-car at the Ralphs (Vons?) parking lot and didn't see you again. 3one0 one84-143four <- call me!
It turns out my chain got all worn out, so after Swinger's I swung by Bike Attack to get that replaced, and ended up with a sweet (but damn heavy, they weigh a ton!) set of yellow tires to go along with my yellow chain. Bee bike!
