CYLRAT

change your life, ride a trike.

someone close to the blog sent us this article from the latimes about what is quickly becoming my favorite city to hear about bikey things lately: long beach.

the story is about 103 year-old,octavio orduño, who sounds like a likable, if stubborn, elderly man with a daily habit he just can't leave behind...riding his tricycle. he only got it a few years ago when he couldn't balance as well anymore on the 2-wheeled variety we tend to talk about here on the blog.

he's all smiles in the picture with his coke-bottled glasses weighing rather heavily on his nose. check it out here.

yay octavio! you have some fans up here in norcal homie. keep riding, ey?

(oh, also, you'll notice that the long beach bikey coordinator type person is from texas. kthxxxxbai.)

the sweetest thing

sent in by a reader and former classmate of mine:

"cupcake bike stand outside of a cupckae store of course. long beach."

as that oh so wise movie, clueless, said back in the day it's "so sweet it's giving me a toothache." groans all around? yes, no? heehee.

as always, we love reader submissions!! especially right now when we're getting back into the swing of things, why not show us what you are made of?!

much love,

CTX
