The Sharrows Experiment: Mixing Bicycles with Autos
NBC reports on LA's First Sharrows. I know these are important, but putting them on Fountain, Really?? That street is way to small. Put them on Hollywood and other main thoroughfares. Nonetheless its a move in the right direction.

The reason why I'm posting this early is because, I don't want to hear any excuses on why Ya'll didn't come out. This gives you over two to four weeks advance notice for most of these events. I'll be updating them as each event comes up, but just get your legs ready.... July is gonna be busy as fuck.

I Sidi LA!
About three weeks ago, I finally made the move, I should've done years ago. I guess, I had to get over not riding in sneakers to be able to do it. The only thing is, I have now realized, that my sneaker game is about to blow up, because I won't be afraid to ruin sneakers by riding in them anymore.
I love it. There really is no better way to ride. So much more power, better stopping abilities, and it fucking feels badass as fuck. You feel like man amongst boys. I can't wait til my road bike is finished and I get road shoes for that machine. Oh yea, what kind of setup do I run? Sidi Dominator 5s and Time ATAC MTB pedals (2010 version). Couldn't ask for better setup. If you're into riding track bikes really fast, and you're on the fence about making the switch. Do it. Don't wait as long as I did, (too long) you'll regret it, trust. It changes your whole riding world. Improves everything. Speed, cadence, strength, and climbing, I think the best for me was, I was about to switch my gearing from a 48/17/16 to a 49/16, but because of the new muscles I'm building through better pedals strokes there's no need. (right now at least) Super happy, that I made the switch.
PS. I forgot to add this.... My homie Devon sez... "Going clipless? It's the new aerospoke" So get on it!!!

Update: I totally forgot the most important question people have been asking. "how is it skidding?" Magical, you lock it up with ease, just no whip skids, lock it up then drift. Full seated skids going 25+, barely trying to do it...... The best.
Nike Sweet Classic Canvas Low “Livestrong”
Damn, I like everything coming out the Nike Livestrong Collection. Rad little accents with the bikes lining the wall of the sole.
Bet, these would great to ride in, and would look good chillin...
Get em a finishline.

We got what we asked for....
LAPD will be attending next week's Critical Mass. Hope it goes down smoothly.
A bit of advice for everyone going....
1. Don't drink in public
2. No "Safety meetings"
3. Front and rear lights
4. You ride brakeless, put a brake on, or rig something that looks like a brake
5. Under 18, Wear a helmet (you should anyways)
6. Don't run Red lights or Stop signs (unless the normal corking is going on, or LAPD is blocking traffic)
7. Hold one Lane
LAPD is coming out next friday, so show them some respect, but be aware LAPD will be watching for all of this and more.
So don't fuck this up for all of us by being stupid. I think it's a great idea, if it goes well...
You and I know, they will be ticketing for all of these violations. Just be safe, ride with them, show them that we're not
Animals and deserve the same respect everyone else does.
