CicLAvia in East Los

Did the CicLAvia ride yesterday.
Was way too warm out there, but had roll down some of LA's best streets.
Homeboy industries food truck was at Mariachi Square, their food and service was amazing.

Keepin' it real on the East Side.

Omega Man on Wilshire Blvd.

Went out for a quick spin on my bicycle before the official opening of CicLAvia on Wilshire Blvd. Didn't see one soul for miles in the early morning hours, felt just like "The Omega Man."
It was actually really awesome to have the Blvd. all to myself for a bit.
Later in the day it was a bicycle traffic jamzilla from Fairfax to Grand.

CicLAvia

Today's CicLAvia from downtown to the sea. It was crazy crowded, was unable to make it to Venice due to the major log jam of bicycles.

Eat and ride with style.

Occupy L.A. Day 11

Day 12 at Occupy L.A. Mostly a slow hot day at LA city hall. Some protesters are getting upset about getting their photos taken, although most are cool with it. Should be interesting by Friday.
Met Lucy Horowitz, a 83 year old protester. She told me she is looking forward to getting arrested for protesting at city hall. Lucy was in the audience when Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech in D.C. She has been arrested several times for political protesting, mostly during the Viet Nam War era. Lucy also escaped the Nazi occupation of her homeland of Austria.
Saw my friend Damian, he has a huge black eye from a bike accident at cicLAvia, at least he wasn't camera shy.

Pauvre cito, Damian and his black eye.
