One of the organizers said the purpose was to raise questions of transportation infrastructure. Aren't there better ways to protest than pissing off the already unruly L.A. commuters? We generally try to treat everyone equally around these parts, but cyclists on the roads need to GTFO. Sidewalks, son, sidewalks. [LAist]

He'd rather fill up his horse with oats than spend $4.00 a gallon putting fuel in his truck, so he's riding everywhere in protest. This is easier for the gentleman because he's a sign painter and not, you know, an ambulance driver. His argument loses some coherency until he starts to show off that he can multiply by twos. The tired horse was later quoted as saying "I hope to God that the price of beef doesn't suddenly shoot up." [CNN]
