Well awesome is what I can great times everyone on these rides are positive and it is great. If you want a ride that is perfect to start with go to Taco Tuesday absolutely a perfect ride. Otherwise good times with great people. Any specific questions let me know.

everyone pretty much generally has love and respect for each other.... the whole city is filled with ridazz... there are rides happening everyday just check the calendar on the right ---->
there is a ride for you no matter who you are, fast rides, social rides, advocacy rides, bar crawls, exploratory rides.... major thing to do is show up to a ride with some friends and start mixing in. it will take a few rides for people to start recognizing you and eventually you will figure it all out. welcome aboard.

No age requirement, no certain type of bike requirement, unless said so in ride description. & even then you don't really need to take a fixie to fixed thursdays.
Only thing is required from you is responsibility over yourself, have fun, and ride.

Does not matter about age or experience if you love riding that is all that counts some are fast rides but they will say in the ride description if they are or not. Otherwise I have seen people that only ride in the rides not all the time I personally ride with Team LaGrange and Team Helen's so I have alot of experience with riding but I go on all sorts of rides. The only thing you need to have with you is a great attitude positive. Love for bikes.

Now now guys.....
Now is not the time to bring up the underage crank mob jokes!
If you've been here around the forums you'll notice a issue about "tagging on rides"and "kronic town"
Oh and btw its nice to meet you lailaowns,what area do u ride in?=p
im glad to see ridaz coming from the younger demographic now.gives us sort of a diversity of some sort?...

Hey Laila,
there are a whole bunch of us who are youngins.
I just turned 18 and I posted close to the same thing when I first heard of MR.
All rides are all ages welcome.
But do note that most rides include lots of alcohol, tobacco, and the green stuff my mommy warned me about.
Don't worry to much about bringing you friends, I always enjoy making new ones....and reintroducing myself to others on rides.
If you're nervous about making friends just look for me at the next ride. We'll chat it up and I'll introduce you to some people.

What school do you go to? How did you get into riding? Why are you posting on this messageboard so much and not even riding, haven't even been on a ride? Who are you? What do you look like? Where do you live? What's your last name and social security number? Do you know the muffinman? When was your last meal? Are you going on Wolfpack? What time do you get off of school? Where do you work? DO you work? Do you drive? Do you own a car? Are you one of those horrible teen drivers? Can you spell correctly? What did you get in your English class? What classes are you taking? What kind of grades do you get? Have you ever been a "gifted" or "honors" student? What do your parents think of you? What's your bicycle's name? Pets? Siblings?

Laila, lots of girls ride. We're slightly outnumbered, but there's a good amount of us. Oh, and every one of them will probably tell you the same thing - that girl ridazz are the awesomest girls I've ever known. At least that's my opinion. Also, the night rides are a lot of fun and not so scary because you're in a group. It's quite different from riding alone, but there's still a bike and some streets involved.

Hi....There is a Sunday Morning ride downtown called the Downtown LA Bike Meander, which meets at 10:00am at Royal Clayton's Pub (Toy Factory Lofts). It's not as big and crazy as Midnight Ridazz rides. It's mellow, fun and easy. Just some neighborhood people riding bikes.
