Bye Bye Bikes




Today Red Sara & Midnight Simon came over to pick up the bikes for the Bike Bee. There were 14 frames in all, with only 3 of those not having wheel(s) attached. A nice haul to clear out some of the under-deck area and allow these bicycles' spirits to go free. They will be reborn as choppers, tall bikes and refurbished regular bikes.

Philosophical Point: Are Vegans Allowed To...

So the East Van Bikerazzi was making an appearance at a do sponsored by the Work Less Party. So I had to make an appearance too. Not only do I Work Less (i.e. a 4 day week), but the bike posse's purpose was to raise some loot for the Bike Bee (see lynx if you haven't done so, it has been updated with its latest bikinfo) to which I'm donating some chopper/frankenbike materiel, and it was a costume party. Three guesses as to mine, and the 1st 2 don't count. I liked my pink chenille socks best (and so did some of the gurlz). All in all it was a prety good party, a bit lame on the beverage choices (perhaps all the Less Working addled the organisers' minds). I tried each of the two beers (yech, at the best of times) they had on tap. If I hadn't seen the tap actually connected to the beer supply, I would have assumed it was directly linked to the settling tanks on Annacis Island. There were some amateur dance troupes performing (one of them the B:C:Clettes) in a sort of contest. Later on I saw at the Propaganda table where the WLP had stuff on display, there were several vegan themed buttons. One of them said "meat tastes like ass", so I got to thinking, are vegans allowed to eat pussy?
