Bikes for the Occupation!

Occupy Los Angeles exists by the collective spirit of those who support the ideals of freedom, democracy, justice and liberty. Each person protesting outside City Hall has something to contribute to the movement. I did my small part, which was to donate some bicycles so people could pickup supplies, run errands and maybe even participate in the upcoming CicLAvia this Sunday!

On Tuesday, I met hELLA HUNG at his storage unit where he pulled out this magnificent steed, aptly named, The Hung Dynasty!

Check out that cockpit!

After making the voyage from San Francisco to L.A., hELLA wanted to gift his dynasty to the city he now calls home. Like most of us, OccupyLA was the moment he was waiting for.

Then on Thursday, I paid a visit to my favorite auctioneers in the City of Industry to pickup an assortment of bikes for the cause.

The view driving into L.A. was so clear after the inch of rain the day before.

As I was packing up, Real Food Daily was pulling up with a donation as well.

***7am 10/8/11 UPDATE: One of the perils of blogging at 2am is that you forget things, big an small. This campaign to support the occupation with wheels came from none other than the Wolfpack Hustle.


 If you haven't heard, they're being honored next week at City Hall for racing against a jet airplane... and winning! Thanks to the Hustle Crew for working all day to bring a couple busted bikes I donated back from the grave. Here's what it probably looked like:

Perhaps the best public speaker in the world

Forget Joe The Plumber, please allow me to introduce you to Jesse LaGreca.



Way to go Jesse! Your verbal suplex followed up by a kimura submission hold of Fox News had them tapping out in less than 3 minutes! Jon Stewart, take note, this is how it's done:



 This is funny AND confrontational.

Jesse, we're all taking notes here at Occupy Los Angeles. Thank you. #OccupyLA #OccupyWallStreet
