Club Rides, Lights, Yehuda Moon Stlye
I love Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery. It's a comic strip that pits retro-grouch/Fred vs road weenie. In general it is a wonderful strip that demonstrates a great depth of understanding concerning our community.
Specifically ...today while looking for lights online I stopped to check out the daily version of the strip....

....enough said. The man is a genius.

I love love love Yehuda Moon! I think you can only fully get it if you've worked at a bike shop before, I've shown it to some people who aren't shop guys and they just don't quite "get it", at least not all of it.

Some of the real subtle ones have snuck up on me and left me laughing for a long time.

Thanks for the link - I just spent the last half hour scrolling through from January onward. Funny stuff, and spot on.
No need to have worked in a bike shop to "get it"...but it does help if you know a "Yehuda" of your own...which I do

Yeah, the head mechanic at my last shop was a total "Yehuda" in every way. Those cargo bikes do come in handy sometimes though when you have to go pick up lunch for the whole shop.
I usually don't check up on it for a couple weeks and then just sit down and go through everything since the last time I checked. Recently I went a few months without looking at it and spent a better part of an afternoon at work going through everything I missed. It was great, best day at work I've had in a while.
Great stuff though...that guy is brilliant and totally in touch with the cycling culture.

I'm a fan. I suspect it gets more love from utility cyclists than roadies based on its content.
There's a thread in commuting about it. Currently on the first page so I'm going to be lazy and not post a link here.
