"There is no part of the world where cycling is in greater favor than in Southern California, and nowhere on the American continent are conditions so favorable the year round for wheeling." That's from an 1897 newspaper article, as reported in this piece in the LA Times: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/bottleneck/2008/08/how-copenhagen.html Here's hoping LA will embrace Bicycle Culture 2.0.

If there was a drinking game where Ihad to down a shot every time I saw a person onscreen I knew/love/respect I'd be legally drunk before the end of it. Bravo!

Sorry I couldn't turn this right around and get it up next day, but, well, you can ask Apple why they stopped putting firewire drives on some of their f***in computers!! Working on another L.A. video right now, but that might take more than the 5 hours it took me on this... Good luck with the summit on Saturday.

Perspective time -- you know, back in 2005 or so when I was starting to work with folks like Somerset Waters from the Bike Kitchen on organizing the immediate community there at Hel-Mel, he'd have me meet people from places like Portland who'd tell me about all these neato neighborhood block parties and street festivals there, and I'd often wish it'd be cool if we had something like that here in East Hollywood...Well after watching this, it finally hit me: "Damn...it's already happening!" Well done, mang!
