C.R.A.N.K. MOB did not happen this Saturday, and I did NOT go.  In honor of all the FUN that NO ONE had, here are some photos of things that DIDN’T happen, from hatehills and nesoxochi.  If you’re friends with the right folks on facebook, EddieboyinLA also has some good photos of NOTHING happening.

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! [...]

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 [...]

After I was grilled and upbraided by a Culver City cop who doesn’t like children, I hustled to catch C.R.A.N.K. MOB at it’s next stop.  As the fastest man on the Westside, this was easy, and I caught the group at in a Von’s parking lot only slightly short of breath.  And just then they [...]

(if you’re having trouble viewing the video, view the video here, on Vimeo.) Wow!  Good job Jon. Let’s hear it for Jon in the comments! C.R.A.N.K. MOB meets at 9:30pm, [...]

Jon Anderson of Midnight Ridazz just released this amazing CRANK MOB video. Many videos have come out of C-MOB, but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. That’s no offense to the other video producers, it’s just that Jon is in video production. Clearly the CRAKN GODs filled him with the CRANKY spirit [...]

(the videos in the post will come through as links for RSS and email subscribers – just click em and check out the videos – trust me!  Or go to WestsideBikeSIDE.com) CRANK MOB was double awesome. All the CRANK faithful have speculated what warmer temperatures would bring, and we were right to do so. The [...]

CRank Mob participants produce an amazing quantity of media. Lately after each ride there are an insane number of photos, a couple video recaps, and poetic testimonials surface. So here it is in CRANK Mob recap part 2.
