Midnight Ridazz!!! - Part 1

Urban Testing Ground

It was their 2 year anniversary and there was love in the air, or was that chronic. Midnight Ridazz is a gathering of bike riders who meet every 2nd Friday of the month to take over the streets of LA. And as the name implies this doesn't happen during business hours. This month's theme was "I Heart My Bike" but only a few really got into the spirit by decking out their ridez with heart shaped balloons or red firey sex-flames. Two guys wore wrestling masks, maybe they love eachother... who knows. This trip started out at Echo Park and Sunset and toured all through Glendale, Silverlake and then up to Dodger Stadium. Some may say that Midnight Ridazz is a celebration of the biking culture, others may say it's a public protest against our dependence on oil, I say it's an excuse for 600 20-somethings to party on 2 wheels. But that's just me.
In all honesty, if you haven't done it before, you should try it.

Special thanks to Pam for reminding me about this month's ride and for getting me off my ass. And a HUGE thank you to Eddie Mort for navigating me through the crazy traffic on his Vespa and risking major traffic tickets.
There's more footage so I broke it up into two parts. So stay tuned.
