Peace. That’s one of the signs the dancing bycicle rider of Boyle Heights made during my bus ride with him. I didn’t notice we were on the same bus till I saw him sticking out his hand, makings signs and waves as the bus crused along. Since my last post, I haven’t seen him around and wondered what he was doing, turns out that when he’s too tired to ride his bike, he goes metro.Â
I sat right next to him and took a snap shot of his helmet when he wasn’t looking. He taped on brand names on the back and on the sides he put “highly flamable” stickers. Guess he considers himself hot stuff.(sorry, I couldn’t help myself) During the bus ride I also solved the mystery of why he dances when riding around or even on the bus, and frankly I feel dumb and ignorant for writing, but he dances because he’s listening to his casset player.Â
It make sperfect sense that he would be jamming out to his tunes when his on the bus or his bike, I do the same with my Ipod. I mean seriously, after I made the connection I realized that whenever I get into a song and start bumping my head up and down the beat or start playing air guitar, I’d look a little foolish myself. Hell that’s nothing compared to my ackwerd dacing. You’d swear I’m having a stroke or something. But it totally makes sense now. I never noticed his casset player or that he was wearing heads because of his helmelt. It even took me a few minutes to notice he had head phones on underneath his head gear. Other bus riders gave him strange and curious looks because they didn’t understand why he was doing what he as doing. Now I just have to find out what he’s listening to that he gets all into it. Metallica maybe ? or Juan Gabriel ? Godforbid it’s some pop song ugh….
I like that he has an ad for ATT wireless right above the word Maverick! At least he seems to be enjoying the ride.
I see this guy all the time riding up 1st Street and Spring Street in downtown L.A., where I work.
I’m not particularly charmed by this guy for some reason. I find him kind of obnoxious. The fact that he may be a normal dude otherwise just annoys me more. If you’re going to be eccentric, then be organically eccentric. There’s too many faux eccentrics with “look at me” attitudes in downtown as it is.
Yeah, I know, bah humbug.

I thought Chespirito would be the only one that would have a “chiripiorca”. 😉

Saw this guy just an hour ago on Spring and I think 4th streets. I got an up close and personal look at him and he was barking something about “Obama,” but I counted more than a few “motherfuckas” in their too.
He’s not going to get a he’s-brown-like-me-so-I’ll-celebrate-his-urban-quirkiness discount from me. I think he’s a horse’s ass.
I guess he got his 15 minutes of fame. I wonder if his ears are burning?
