I would be willing to wager that not one person that went on the first Tour De Ballona was on the ride you’re complaining about. There were more people on that ride over the age of forty than under the age of 25.

This ride was in response to violence on the trail and by forging a better relationship with the LAPD Pacific Division bike cops, the organizers seem to have helped make the trail a safer place for daytime riders. In other words, while the ride was probably boosted by this blog, it was really about the trail users, many of whom are probably your neighbors, being proactive and being a force for good as you say.

You should try it.

How would you feel if I went to your Moms house with 50 people and had them scream at midnight as they passed by.

Also, as you entered Centinela Ave., you blocked traffic and did not let cars pass. You have become (to a lesser extent) they very people you are trying to deter. (This happened several times.)

Put that in your pipe!

i liked the news “stock” bicycle path footage. i’m pretty sure they were filming along the orange line bike path in the sf valley.
