South Bay Cruisers

We couldn't have picked a better day to celebrate the first ever Southbay Bicycle Music Festival, July 19th, 2008. On a warm sunny afternoon we met at Hermosa Pier, sang happy birthday to Cruiser of the week "Tony', then we headed off towards the Esplanade cruisin' to the Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour'. (What can I say, it felt like we were heading off to Woodstock so the mix was leaning a little towards the '60's for this ride)

It's hard to capture on video the feeling of a good cruiser ride, but these two come pretty close. The first video, made by ultradistance rider Paul McKensie, was used on the tourbus of Clif Bar's excellent 2-Mile Challenge. It was shot with a handful of friends and Clif folks at my place in the Mission. It's got a beautiful shot of Mafiosa and I cruising in front of Mona Caron's Bikeway Mural.

The Southbay Cruisers of Hermosa Beach,CA excitedly await the arrival of the Ginger Ninjas and Shake Your Peace on their 'Pleasant Revolution' Bicycle tour to South America!
