CRANK MOB Sucked Balls

Ok, CRANK MOB sucked balls. That comment is about a -5 on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of helpfulness. Base on it, we all now know that you didn't like CRANK MOB. That's it. And guess what? Given the drama that always surrounds CRANK MOB, we all sort of assume there are people who weren't happy with it. So that's not really new information.

Be specific - can you describe how and why CRANK MOB sucked balls? That might actually be helpful. Otherwise your comment is thoughtless and unremarkable.

i thought the ride was well thought out, and that a lot of effort was put into it. from the the band at albertsons and the stop at the asia place and the kettlecorn, much props to the planners. giving everyone fun is really quite an effort.
i think i just got irked last night when i saw this corker taunting an already irritable driver, "what? what? what are you going to do?, what are you going to do? " laughing hysterically. but i guess i'm just being an old biker prude.

I see a lot of that too with corkers. When I do, I just go up and have a talk with the corker, and suggest other ways to handle it. There's always gonna be new people, and some of them will do that, and so I just think of it as a continual process of acculturating new riders.

With the corking comment, I was saying that most of the time it's new people that elect to cork and therefore are super excited and feel the power of the mob. They feel pumped that they're a part of it. It's a feeling everyone gets. By corking they feel responsible to protect the riders, and some do it by taunting drivers because they don't know how to handle conflict any other way. It's when people like Alex come talk to em, that they realize you can be cool and calm while corking.

i was not able to make it to the ride last night, though i really wanted to. instead, i had a dream this morning. in it, i was doing some important shit, like leading a field trip for my students or something, and crankmob went by. only it wasn't just bikes. first of all, everyone was basically a pirate. secondly, besides high bikes, low bikes, unicycles, and all that - about 1/2 the people had actual playground equipment on wheels. like the jungle gym monkey bar things, some with steering wheels. argh! what does it mean?

I had to diffuse so many situations with the kiddies antagonizing motorists and cops that were ready to arrest them.

Kids don't touch anyone's car! Don't and when a car is obviously stuck in an eddie of CMers let them through so the party can roll unabated.


Furthermore, hold your fucking line. That means ride in a straight line! I don't care how drunk you are, don't ride if you can't ride straight.

Ok, one last thing. Just because it's dark out and it's night time that doesn't mean you can close your eyes.

Look where you are going, it's your life and the person you could collide with. Treat the road like a freeway, pass on the left, fastla e left only. Don't stop or you'll get rear ended and start a pileup and call shit out. Turns, debris, slowing, rolling, etc.

And kids get a hand break or demonstrate efficient stopping skills by stomping on your rear when rolling downhill.

Oh yeah, cork with style. Entertain the drivers, talk to them, inform them how long it will be, and remind them every time a new school rolls by. It is also a perfect opportunty to. Spread bike awareness.

If a car is stuck, call it out stop the mob and lead it out. Leadership skills are needed to execute this. AT knows.

Ok first of all, I'm still at crank mob, and I'm still having a blast. All of you who are the ball lickers complaining about this ride should lick my balls, you guys can't handle the mob. Start dancing at the fucking ride, for fucks sake!

The issue with corkers and aggression towards motorists is a huge problem. I saw would be docile motorists turn aggro real fast just because some fuckwads decided to start banging on the hood / window. Fuuuuuck that!

Let the cars pass! Take your bullshit aggression towards motorists, cram it up your assholes and lick my balls.

I have some tips on how to affect the attitude of others while on a ride:

It's all about waving at the cars, judging the gaps and letting some cars pass, being polite by saying, "Thanks for waiting!", "Almost done!", or even, "Sorry!" can really help the group out. A display of thumbs up, fist pumps, w00ts, even if the drivers look angry seems to catch them off guard or even change their attitudes. Even when they honk angrily, respond to them as if they are honking in support and diffuse it. And if you can sense a driver starting to get aggravated, or if it's a cop about to strike, try using , "It's cool! We're leaving!" - Anything else just isn't going to help your situation.

And if you deny what I say, then you are a chump just looking for trouble. Go ahead and test my theory. It always seems to help whenever I'm on rides. I feel more alert and positive weather it really affects others or not.

I think it's important to remember to make you voice heard on the spot, on the ride, to the person who you feel is causing problems. The internet is a good place to scream, but it doesn't leave you with that sexy gravelly voice afterward. Talking to people, and not just admonishing them, will have a much more lasting effect on their behavior than changing your facebook status to "CRANK MOB sucks I hate it stupid thieves."

It was a good ride. Top 1/3 of CRANK MOBs, and that's saying a lot.

@bicykiller

totally agree with you on the corking thing.

@alex

i srsly think you should state out the rules BEFORE the ride starts. not on the forum.

my group and i had to call out so many fucking idiots, young or old.

from the shit they were doing, we as cyclists look like a collective group of assholes hell bent on fucking the city up.

us cyclists who ride everyday for one reason or another are getting the fucking shaft bc some asshole who comes out for a ride once a month is going around kicking mirrors off.

and what happened, when i called the fucker out? he told me to fuck off and sped off.

i mean what the fuck dude.

last night, i saw at least 8 different incidences where some fucker was kicking a car bumper or snapping back mirrors, small ass kids talking about how drunk they were (no not like 18 or 19, more like 14), all types of fucked up shit. and when i call fuckers out, NOBODY ELSE backs me up.


i srsly think before everyride, just shout out with a megaphone, the rules and that if you fuck up, you will bounced out, and tell fools to not buy minors alcohol.

srsly, whos the fucking idiot giving a 13 yr old beer?

@graham,

were you there last night?


@chynna

ah! you were there and i didnt even say hi. i was too busy restraining myself from strangling other people.


i think as long as the rules are stated at the beginning of the ride via megaphone and people know that you will be called out for stupid shit, it hink it will fix a lot of things.

especially for things involving cars. some asshole in a blue sweater was gonig around kicking in doors OF MOVING VEHICLES. he stopped after i called him out but i srsly think that he thought it was an okay thing to do.

threaten people at the beginning of the ride that they will be shunned the fuck out of and i think theyll straighten the fuck up.

and please, 13 yr olds can't hold their booze which equals, they cant ride their bike, which equals crashes. cut this shit out.

Call out people if you want. Sometimes that works. If Richie calls someone out, it works great, because everyone knows who he is, and they feel chastised and ostracized.

But, if you're not universally known, aggressively calling someone out isn't as likely to work. They'll think, "who the fuck is this guy?" And they'll tell you to fuck off like that young man did.

Reasoning with people, discussing the issue with them, is far more likely to have a lasting impact. If you have the time and context to talk to someone more as an equal, I advocate doing that. It just works better.

And you know, sometimes when you intervene, people tell you to fuck off. It just goes with the territory. Don't take it personally, and realize that response is a defensive reaction, so there's a reasonably good chance that you got through, and they'll feel guilty later.

Positivity people, positivity motivates. It's easier to pull than push.

@ richie and alex

yes, the rules are posted online but at the same time, i dont think anyone really bothers to fully go through it. especially the younger kids.

i think if you announce it via megaphone and really tell people that it's not cool to ding up cars and what not, it should be fine.

the reason i say this is bc when i was on my first ride years ago, i was just the same. all about the hype and yeah dude, fuck cars, etc.
I thought it would be cool to punch a car and i did. one of the older riders told me that its not the way to go about things and i stopped doing stupid things.




and for the record,

it was a cool ride except for the few idiot kids.

it was a great route and still had lots of fun.

kudos for that band setting up in the parking lot!

remember, when you use a coaster brake, you must have ur feet on the pedals so you can slow down. it doesnt work when ur hauling ass and ur dragging ur dainty toes on the ground.

What else...I just finished the book, Old School, by Tobais Wolff....Drop City by J.M. Coetzee and collection of stories (which I have already read) by John Updike, since he recently died. I've been reading a lot at night lately. It's creeping into my sleep time.

ahhhh! Did I say Drop City by J.M. Coetzee....oops

I should have said Drop City by T.C. Boyle. I guess I got them confused because of the two initials + plus last name similarity.

I never bought rain gear this year. I should have. Maybe I still should. I've been riding wet.

The raccoon behind my house, who lives in an old woodpecker hole in a dead palm tree, got into a fight with a bobcat the other day. He high-tailed it into the water, pretty quickly. It seems like he's doing alright today. I watched him for a while through binoculars. And, the herons..three pairs...are nesting at the top of an enormous tree behind the house.

I watched Gran Tourismo last weekend. I liked it. I saw The Wrestler night before last...and I guess the jury is still out on that one. Sometimes, I'd rather not immerse myself in pain and turmoil when watching a movie in my free time. Although I did like Magnolia...so, I guess it just matters what mood I'm in.

zipperhead

A derogatory term used in reference to people of Asian descent.

It is said to have been coined during the Korean war by frontline troops whom had run over enemy troops in jeeps.

The soldiers claimed that the tire tracks from the jeeps left a pattern resembling that of a closed zipper along the corpse.

last night's C.R.A.N.K. MOB was awesome. the stops. the bands. the music. the fact that we rode wayyy more miles.

was really saddens me about this thread is the ignorance that by making this thread, you think miraculously C.R.A.N.K. MOB is going to change over night.

Firstly, C.R.A.N.K. MOB has changed, but not over night, it has evolved from it's baby stages to this, as i like to call it, its adolescent phase.

And it's the biggest ride in LA. It is. so instead of masturbating on here with your hatred, why don't you become a more affective part of this community you say you love and are a part of and be a voice. be the change you want to see.

Secondly, C.R.A.N.K. MOB is only going to get bigger by the time summer rolls around. so get off your high horse, step off your soapbox and realize that if anything is going to "change" or get better or evolve - it starts with you.

Thanks.

the mob looked amazing, although i was not able to ride with you all(bike kart huge facking fail!) but i did see a bunch of immature people. I wanted to introduce my girl to bike culture, but i think she got the wrong idea LMFAO!!!...and i quote "mike is this what you do when u ride your bike...?" it was beautiful to see all the new faces, the children enjoying themselves, and to see alex and richie dressed up like idiots. On the way home i saw (2) groups babysitting drunkies...and vomit spewed all over the pavement, not nice. We who commute on these roads daily and have to deal with the aftermath of Crank Mob should be the ones talking to the firestarters. Not just a few "known" people. If politely grabbed one of these stray cubs by the neck and infused some light into them they would most def learn...

I'm going to go ahead and assume based off of conversations i have heard while riding--including "man this is a work out", "oh my god i lost my friend about a block back, am i ever going to find him again?", "wow crank mob is like totally a non conformist party ride, i'm going to get so drunk that i forget how to ride a bike at the next stop", etc...-- that about half or maybe more of the riders on crank mob only ride on crank mob and maybe to 7-11 if it's within 3 blocks away from their house. THEREFORE, like i said before, they should be informed at the ride, multiple times, with amplified sound (megaphone!!! my favorite culture!!), what to do to keep everything safety first. i love crank mob, and if we didn't have some idiots than i wouldn't be able to think i am more responsible, a better rider, and more informed than a lot of other people, BUT the word of not looking behind you before you turn, swerving, and stealing needs to spread.

I think Crank mob was pretty chill, although there were a couple things that were not chill, 1) first I stopped to help somone with a flat and lost the mob, by the time I found them they were at the alberstons and the cops were already breaking it up, I didnt even get to see the band that everyone is talking about, second, the 7-11 stop off of barrington and gateway, some prick through a good size water bottle into the crowed and hit someone in the neck, that shit was not cool, that can actually hurt someone is they get hit in the right place, that person deserves to a have a U-Lock taken to his face.
and last but not lease, when the cops come to move us along, DONT start talking shit, of course everyone hates them, you dont have to show off and talk shit to em, the more friendly we are to them, the more chill they'll be with us, there just doin there job, it sucks, but its not like they ruin the night, think of them as sheep hurders, they come, we move to another spot, they come again, we move again, either way we win, we just need to get some scout rides and actually find places where we wont get botherd, 7-11's are cool and funny to see and all, but its too out int the open, Best buy, that was a good one.

I didn't read all the other posts, so maybe this is repetitive, but it was serious amateur hour last night at Crank mob. Probably no coincidence high school age riders were pushing about 80% of the crowd.

I saw idiots wiping out all over the place. Fixie virgins who had apparently not been down any hills before. I saw three or four people just fall over once they started going down the hill after Wilshire and a couple riders actually ran them over because there was no time to react. Fucking dangerous ride with all the idiots out there. Learn to ride your fixies! WTF.

I saw a corker being an idiot, corking the OTHER side of Santa Monica blvd, which was fucking pointless and was just pissing off drivers for no reason.

Yeah, except since I have no welding equipment, I'm going with these plans I got off of that "instructables" website.

It involves flipping the frame, 2x4's, hose clamps and twine.

The conversion, I'm having ass-luck finding any useful frames.
I'm running into shit, MTB frames everywhere I try to look.

For the most part, these will pretty much be used for when I start making trips and, eventually, moving myself away from this dreary place.

-1 for talking about on the forum
-1 for law enforcement reading this and being on our ass even more.

There is this vegan ham you can get frozen at most Asian markets. It is So good on a sandwich. I comes in a frozen cylindrical plastic wrapping. I guess they weigh about three lbs.

I have found that you can make some really good pozole with this. I mean it isn't exactly the same as regular pozole, but I think I like it better. I just use vegetable shortening when browning the ground New Mexico Red Chiles.

so you've go N.M. red chiles-- a bunch of em toast in oven (don't burn)
grind in coffee grinder. Brown ground chiles with veg shortening, Add flower...brown to make a rue. Fill up the pot with water. Simmer for a long time. Add garlic, comino (cumin), sea salt. After a long time, add pozole...(or hominy, in a pinch), and add the vegan ham cut into small pieces.

Put some in a bowl, top with lime. Make sure to have some corn tortillas hot. mmmm.

okay.

What else should we "Give" (see photo above) them, so that we can be targeted even more?

Maybe a nice "arson fire" on an office building

or maybe we all can just shoot our guns in the air at start of CM,

wouldn't that be nice. Let me know when you are having a ride and I will be happy to come down and destroy something in your neighborhood that will bring the police down on you even more.

Why should I even care?

I guess you could do it with roasted green chiles, but that would be something completely different. Although, it would be good. If you were to do it that way, I would recommend Hatch Green chiles, roasted....not Anaheim Chiles.

as for this ride "sucking balls" shame on whoever started this.
people did put a lot of effort into last nights shabang.

its great if you look in the right places. (stay up front if you dont like the crowds)

its great if your not a bike snob who thinks youre better than everyone else. (im not impressed by your siqq fishtail skids. keep that shit out of crowds its dangerous)

Here's one.

Tahini, water, soy sauce, hot cock (red hot sauce in clear bottle with a green cap and a rooster on the front), Get the right proportions to make a nice spicy tahini dressing.

Then make a salad of worthwhile greens, jicama, slivered carrots, scallions, garbanzo beans....whatever else you want. Set aside.

Make some soba or udon noodles. Chill in ice water.

Plate the noodles, top with salad and add spicy tahini dressing.

There you go.

this is totally relevant.

just so i can prove it to the cycling community that i occasionally get blowjobs, im gonna try to talk my girlfriend into me taking a picture of said blowjob.

only so i can prove to graham and brooke who doesnt know how to stop her bike that i actually do get laid.

this way, crank mob wont be so out of control.

the reason crank mob was so lame was bc my girlfriend is on the rag and that upset the balance of the universe which caused assholes to be assholes and have brooke crash the fuck out of her bike.

Thanks Alex and Richie for putting this ride together. You guys did a great job in planning everything. Having that band play in that parking lot was way cool. I thought the length of the ride was just fine for everyone. You guys are bringing a lot of new people into the fold. It will remain to be seen if they expand their riding to more than once a month. I hope so.

You're always going to have some fuck ups on these rides, so don't stress on it too much. Deal with it the best way you know how. I trust you guys can do it.

I didn't play any role in organizing this ride - all thanks goes to richtotheie and onethirtynine.

I keep going back to this - what the hell does yelling on the internet do about anything? Seems like an easy thing to do while you're hungover on Sunday, but some of y'all just come across as irate know-it-alls with an unrealistic model of ride policing. Hysterically berating straw men does nothing to persuade anyone.

I'd prefer to spend my Sunday riding 50+ miles scouting a ride. Which I did.

you could partake in.
The event occurs at 9:30 PM, PST at the corner of yo' Momma's bedroom.
Spend an entire evening watching reruns of Three's Company while drinking endless amounts of Kool-Aid and munching on TV dinners!!!
