My friend Eric Roseman, who lives in Los Angeles, just sent me this, knowing that I would almost certainly like the idea and want to write about it on the blog. This, is called The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time. It's over now. But from 2009 to earlier this year (2019), it was a collection of people who would meet every Wednesday night at 9pm at California Donuts #21 in Koreatown in order to cycle the city, see new things, and "see old things anew." Given that each Wednesday night ride was about 20-35 miles, the group has covered a lot of ground over the last decade. Here is a cumulative map of their routes. You can also see an animated version, here.I like the idea of traditions and doing things repeatedly, because I think that grit is an important characteristic and I believe in compounding. It's part of the reason why I write a daily blog and why I do an annual snowboarding trip. But I also think that biking is one of the best ways to experience a city. So, yeah, Eric, you were right. I do like this.
