The photos of CRANK Mob that the post links to are on MidnightRidazz! So I'm not sure what you are upset about.<br/><br/>For the Westside, and some would say for LA, CRANK Mob is the Midnight Ridazz ride of the moment. It's doing some new things, things that haven't been done on MR before, and putting some old things together in a new way. That's no slight on Midnight Ridazz, it's a reflection of how amazing these rides are getting. It's not about size, thought no doubt CRANK Mob will grow, it's about format and creativity.<br/><br/>I rode many of the original rides before MidnightRidazz.com existed and it was MidnightRidazz on the 2nd Friday of every month at Pioneer Chicken. Those rides were great. My first one was the Gang ride in Feb or March 05, and my favorite was the epic Prom ride on which Alec and I were the only dress wearing men.<br/><br/>We love CRANK Mob, and we just wanted to celebrate that! anonymous,

CRANK Mob is a MidnightRidazz ride, in the sense that it’s participants are participants in MidnightRidazz community, and it’s primarily organized and promoted through MidnightRidazz.com. The photos of CRANK Mob that the post links to are on MidnightRidazz! So I’m not sure what you are upset about.

We love CRANK Mob, and we just wanted to celebrate that!

Midnight Ridazz completely started LA's bicycle party ride phenomenon and it did so for 3 years before other rides started popping up. MR grew to 1700 (not 300) and it was Midnight Ridazz that enabled Crank Mob to even exist in the first place with the advent of the Midnight Ridazz website and inclusive nature. critical mass in LA had MAYBE 60 participants. It was Midnight Ridazz that grew CM into typical counts of 200 or more in LA. FUN is king. not some new party ride that just started this summer. dont get an inflated ego there buddy. crank mob is cool and all but it’s no Midnight Ridazz.
