Revenge Fantasy Cycles

Movement leader. Survivor. Inspiration.

NATIONAL SHUTDOWN—FRI. JANUARY 30
NO WORK. NO SCHOOL. NO SHOPPING. Poster by

This is of course in reference to the signage the NAACP posted saying, "A MAN WAS LYNCHED YESTERDAY" and I'm reposting this picture I saw on Threads by someone who felt at wits end about what to do about ANOTHER murder happening in Minneapolis today. Make sure to inform those around you about what is happening. Do not turn away. 23 Republicans can change the course of history at any moment and right now start the arduous process of bringing this to an end. I am begging you to lean on your community. Make sure you have your people's backs, download signal and have check in methods established before you need them. Call your congressional representatives regardless of how spineless or useless it seems. There are more of us than them. Cowing us into submission and making us afraid is the goal of this regime.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11:

[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; . . .

The only thing that pushed transparency on the Epstein tapes was continued public pressure. If you do not want to live under a dictatorship, call your representatives today and PROTEST UNWARRANTED ILLEGAL US AGGRESSION. Capturing a sovereign nations president is not normal. Blowing up fishermen under the house of stopping drug trafficking is not normal. What happened today is against constitutional law and we cannot allow it to continue. Bombing a city full of innocent people in the middle of the night is an act of war.

"Do not go gentle in to that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Happy Thanksgiving!!! For over ten years this community has given us everything. We started out as two ex messengers and shop employees who had a dedicated vision of the culture we wanted to create. You gave us that and more. The tremendous privilege of watching your children grow up, making lifelong friends, and enemies. The mission statement was to create an army of cyclists to enjoy the best weather in the country, but also, to remind folks that there was/is an alternative to driving. You made our dreams come true and we got to enjoy a slice of Americana that is in steep decline with every purchase you make to a major conglomerate.

Echo park will always be the birthplace of Revenge Fantasy Cycles. We had the greatest employees. We had the best neighbors. I already miss your dogs. Megan is in school & I'm going to go get lost up in the mountains with my little dog. Thank you to everyone who made this little shop the stuff of dreams. Go ride your bike & leave your car parked!

Nothing is infallible. Please be careful with where you leave your bikes.
In other news, today the president of the United States, who was overwhelmingly elected by the religious right hosted the man who ordered one of our journalists to be viciously sawed apart to his death. Jamal Khashoggi's murder was used now to show the entire world this administration is above the law and stoke fear, the same way it was used by the Saudi Royal Family then to quiet dissent and terrify their own people.
Every single day we are quiet about the horrors we witness we are complicit in their continuance. Call your elected officials, speak out, and do not look away.

Want to Build a Perfect 21st Century Town? Ban Cars. The community of Culdesac, Arizona, was designed for pedestrians and cyclists. And residents love it.

Sunday morning in Japan began with a palpable buzz after the Los Angeles Dodgers announced Shohei Ohtani would start Game 7 of the World Series. By the time countryman Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered the final out, Tokyo was erupting with joy.
