if you're a chemist you could work for Amgen and make us all EPO...
actually i have some chemist friends who work there and love it.

I am a chemist. I am looking for a job. I was playing in a field which was "artificially narrowed". Hence, I'm free and looking for a job, a lady-friend and possibly a new home. If I'm free I may as well enjoy it.

It's weird....I used to think of LA/SoCal as being the single LAST place I'd ever want to live. For many of the fallacious reasons listed above. Lately, however, I've been thinking that it's probably pretty great. Warm, sunny, the OCEAN, wimmin, etc.

Plus, I feel like the hipster problem isn't nearly as bad as it is in the Greater Northern Cities. Everyone's bros in SoCal.

Oh it's much better now.......we've got modern hippies with art galleries and coffee shops, and Central Americans.....:D

Hating on LA is so late-90s. Hating on SF is all the rage now.

BTW, I am the SF treatment.

Not really, but there's a hipster mecca bar right downstairs from my recording studio, and there is some serious velopr0n parked outside that place nightly. All manner of slicked-up tracks, vintage tracks, blingers, beaters, everything.

What I wonder is how long it's going to take for the new NYC bike trend (jacked-up old cruisers with mattress saddles.. they were EVERYWHERE when I visited for nye) to get here. Now THAT'd be rediculous.

50lb bike + 35% grade hills = no bueno

sweet I thought I was the only chemist....I don't know anything about california

Like most of LA the bike community has small groups in many different places.. I moved back to So Cal for family and weather.. It's 5pm right now and 83 degrees in February. My night ride will consist of me needing a long sleeve jersey and that all, no tights, long fingered gloves..

It's kinda like that guy on Seinfeld who talks to himself in 3rd person.

Jimmy's gonna get Kramer, Jimmy thinks Elaine is cute...

If you do end up moving here, you may want to get a geared bike as well. Certain parts of town have more hills than others. Commuting can be a challenge as well.

Only sissies ride with gears!

fixer.. can you tell me your okonomiyaki spot again? i forgot where it was and i miss it since the little tokyo place closed down..

Biking on my fixed gear in L.A. in the early 60s was hip and cool. (ok I was 3 years old, on a trike, but it was still cool !)

I doubt it will ever be hip again, no SF treatment here. Do I smell BEEF.

I was wondering if any of you fools could ride tonight? If not I will you on Friday.

I'm lame, I'm getting ready for bed. But I'll see you at midnight ridazz. I'm going to hang with ch'all all night long. So it better not be lame.
