Extreme City Cycling

I've embarked on a new sport that is a combination of road biking and driving like a maniac. I call it "Extreme City Cycling." The premise of the sport is that I ride my bike as fast through the city to avoid the numerous hazards on the road and just try to stay alive. I steer away from the pot holes the cracks, manuever around red lights, charge through the yellows, hide from cars (parked and unparked), and when necessary I give and denizen of L.A. the finger for cutting me off or honking their fucking horn. The streets suck and the drivers are retarded and do be completely honest this isn't really an innovation at all, its just me trying to survive. In short is it that difficult for the drivers of LA to be semi-polite to cyclists. Thats a rant

In other news I biked to UCLA to visit some friends, took about 90 minutes both ways, averaging around 18 mph. It was rather relaxing and nice to get away from tech.

Lastly, Yesterday was the first day of nationals...
