I just received the Facebook invitation for the 4th ROB00303033TZ ride.  Why the organizer is using 3′s instead of 4′s escapes me – I must be dense.  Still – last month’s ride was epic, travelling through Playa Vista, storming LAX, visiting Hermosa Beach, and ending in a bonfire on Dockweiler Beach.  This month’s ride begins [...]

Here’s some random bike related photos for a lazy weekend: C.R.A.N.K. MOB:

C.R.A.N.K. MOB turns 1 on Saturday.  I can’t believe it!  So, here’s two video’s of last month’s CRNAK MOB to commemorate the occasion. I was feeling burnt out and tired and not very CRANKy, and then I saw these two videos, and I stayed up for 3 days straight . . . in the FUTURE! [...]

I went to Minnesota at the beginning of August for a wedding.  While I was there I visited a few of the local bike co-ops and shops in the Twin Cities (photo set.)  It turns out that Minneapolis/St Paul has a thriving bike culture, which I would have anticipated if I had noted that Minneapolis [...]

My friend, and the friend of many Ridazz, Spook (aka Kyle Hertler), left two days ago.  He was recalled to active duty in the Army, and reported to Fort Benning on August 31st. (photo by Studiodrome)

Once upon a time I headed up this project to create a wiki of all things bike.  Do y’all remember that?  It was insanely ambitious, and when it became a tough project, I eventually folded up and stopped working. So what’s been going on with the ibikeu Wiki?  Well, not too much.  Not too many [...]

Shannon, aka the iconic “Wife Bike”, and Katie O’Shea, are “helping” their friend recover a stolen bike.  This flyer is perhaps the greatest such flier of it’s kind:

So, last week and this week Westside BikeSIDE broke 100 RSS subscribers.  Twice it hit 101, and once 102.  Since I’m subscribed to my own blog twice – that means at least 100 OTHER people read Westside BikeSIDE on a regular basis.  Thank you all for reading!   I would like to extend a general [...]
