Those Crazy Bikers

Kathy got to do her first Midnight Ridazz last night. The theme for the ride was "Christmas in July in December", but neither of us dressed for the occasion. It was cold out and I've got a cold; some times common sense has to take priority. Other people were solidly decked out for the outing; I didn't take any pictures, but Will Campbell did. He also posted his ride account over on blogging.la.

My favorite point of the night: riding past a group of befuddled tourists in front of the El Capitan. I love the idea of them taking their photos back to someplace in the midwest and showing their friends "those crazy Californians" riding their bikes in Hollywood.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
