Mission Mission

Fashionist spotted this combination of gray palette and gradient tights on 18th Street recently, lucky for us. It’s like a Tumblr theme you can wear! Link.

The great thing about Critical Mass in Sacramento is that with only 14 people on the ride, if you get a flat, the entire Mass will pull over and hang out while you patch it up.

The terrible thing about Critical Mass in Sacramento is there’s this dude who thinks he’s the leader. Gives a welcome speech (he actually says “Welcome to Critical Mass!”) where he explains how Critical Mass works, cautions you not to break any rules, gets all serious if you make a joke about throwing bricks at cars, and informs you in which direction he’s decided we’ll be starting off. And then he barks orders at everybody the whole time: “LIGHT!!” “JOIN US!!” “IT’S CRITICAL MASS; JOIN US!!” “LIGHT!!” Gag me!

Sacramento is beautiful though. It’s a nice place to bike.

Says reader Marcus P.:

So we were rounding out a Jersey Shore themed bar crawl with a few slices and whole pizza at Katz pizza/bagels. A group came in, presumably from Double Dutch, didn’t seem to find what they were looking for, and left. One of them was a transvestite. We grabbed our pizza and headed out to find that same transvestite bleeding from her face with a group of 10 people or so attending to her. She was conscious and moving her head, but didn’t look too good.

The cops came and some little guy ran into the street yelling “I told you guys! I fucking told you guys!” at the cop car. The car stopped in the middle of the intersection and the driver got out and yelled at the little guy to get out of the way or go to jail, something to that effect.

I didn’t want to rubberneck or take photos or anything, but some onlookers across the street said that the transvestite had some words with a guy, who then pulled out a metal pipe and hit her in the head. The assailant took off in a car. The cops got a description (black hoodie) and sent a squad car after the suspect.

Sounds like a hate crime on a full moon.

UPDATE: Another incident right around the corner.

Does this work? I’ve tried and failed a few times, but these bros look pretty comfortable. What’s their secret?
