Los Angeles Critical Mass, Tonight!

Critical Mass, Los Angeles - May 2009 from Christophe Serafino on Vimeo.



Meet at Wilshire and Western Metro Station 6:30pm / Ride @ 7:30pm

Los Angeles Critical Mass rides through the city of Los Angeles, exerting our right under California Law to ride bicycles on the street.

This is an easy-paced ride. Be sure to watch out for and respect your fellow ridazz. Enjoy yourselves and don't worry about getting to the front of the pack.

Bring a front and back light for your bike and stay to the right side of the road and we'll avoid any drama with the fuzz.

STAY BEHIND THE MUSIC TRAILER!!!!! The music trailer sets the pace and helps keep everyone together in a mass. Work at keeping everyone together and it'll end up being a killer night.

Wear a helmet. This one is only $85 at REI. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the medical bills you'll be paying when you go down.

WHERE THE HELL IS WALDO - Time To Register Is Almost Up!

Los Angeles, don't sleep! The "Where The Hell Is Waldo"- All City scav race is going down this Saturday and it is going to be dope. The race will span from Pink Taco in century city to the Ultra Violet Social Club, downtown Los Angeles. There is no set route, however there are 4 check-points where riders will have to pick up a spoke card to proceed to the next check point. There are already over 20 riders signed up for the race so this should be some stiff comp. All race participants are strongly urged to where a helmet!!! This race is for experienced street riders. The race will be taking place on busy Los Angeles roads with heavy traffic. We don't want to see anyone get injured so be sure to race safe and smart and we'll all have fun.


Where The Hell Is Waldo after-party will be at the Ultra Violet Social Club @ 6pm with Live art, BEER sponsored by NAKON BEER (clearly must be 21+ to drink), and TATTOOING if your feeling ballzy!!!! There will also be live Dubstep, Drum n' Bass, and Hip Hop by Dj Dstrukt, Dj Clay Steele, Tenacity, KEMST, and your host Deco Comp!

Tony Kornheiser, Still A Raging Douche!




Tony Kornheiser really doesn't sound sorry for his ridiculous "Run down the cyclist" rant that he went on. Listen to Tony and Lance Armstrong speak about it on Tony's radio show here. Personally, I feel like Lance really went soft on him. By the end of the interview Tony and even Lance are just using this as an opportunity to promote themselves. FAIL!

Phil Wood Passed Away



84-year old Phil Wood (@PhilWoodCo) passed away today on his farm in Baxter, Iowa. Since 1971, the Phil Wood Company specialized in hub and other bicycle component manufacturing. In 1991, he sold the company to Peter Enright and other investors. Most of us first came to know Phil Wood's products through the popularity of their track hubs. Reliable, handmade in the US, hubs that set the standard for modern wheel builds. Let's all observe a moment of silence today for Phil Wood. His contributions to the bicycle industry are undeniable.
