Los Angeles Critical Mass
Unfortunately, the LACM is listed at four different times on four different calendars: meet-up was anywhere from 5pm to 7:30. I decided to play it semi safe and go at six, which was still early, as the group straggled in mostly after 7, and we took off at 7:30. Nor was this the usual ride-for-an-hour [...]
Green Drinks at Pharmaka
I went and checked out the downtown session of Green Drinks happening last night at Pharmaka, a gallery on Main Street. The gallery is one of the first green galleries in downtown LA. Instead of aircon, they have gigantic fan on the ceiling. The usual suspects were there; artsy types with vodka cocktails who [...]
cHill Chinatown Mosey
I met a guy at Safety Cycle this week who tipped me off to the Mosey, a generally social ride that takes off from downtown on the last Wednesday of the month at 10pm. I showed up to find a crowd of about 60 cyclists, and a rather bohemian scene. As the creator of a [...]
The Chinese New Year Ride
Alas, my camera batteries died and I have no photos, because this was a fun ride. Covering about a 40 mile loop between Scoops in Silverlake and Arcadia, a group of 13 made a pilgrimage to Din Tai Fung for Xiao Long Bao. The pace was faster than I expected, about 15 mph, but the [...]
Bicycle Bitchen
I just got back from Bicycle Bitchen’ (Ladies Night) at the Bicycle Kitchen and it was a good time. I was impressed to meet some young women who were serious cyclists with excellent road skills. We discussed bicycle safety and they had their own opinions, but understood the program. The shop is full of [...]
Critical Mass: Pasadena+Bike Oven
It was a small group, and fun because we all got a chance to meet and talk. Kim Wong was along for the ride with her partner, they have a photography website, shuttercal.com, and now she’s working on a project to document her experience with group rides in video. Later tonight she’s headed off with [...]
The Green Beacon
High on hill in Silverlake, the Green Beacon shines forth as an example of environmentally conscious living. I ended up here after 3 days of coding, just because I had to get out of the house and I happened upon the event Green Drinks in the C.I.C.L.E. calendar. Julie Solomon has renovated a small cottage [...]
Genesis
I went on my first sally to promote the database. Although I’ve been building it for a couple weeks, I haven’t had to present to anyone but my own friends. Much to my relief the staff at the Bicycle Kitchen and the guys at Orange Bikes were kind and supportive. The hardest part will be [...]
