    Good to have you back uploading regularly, John. You should do a "bike tour" around to some good street food places in LA and do a little mini-review of 'em.

  • @johnbaca8692
    @johnbaca8692 3 роки тому

    Thanks for that piece of LA life!!! I'm from East LA, but that was a long time ago. My daughter lived right in Down Town and K. Town before that a few years ago. I miss taking the Coaster to LA from Oceanside. I did take a trip up one Saturday, and hit a bunch of bike shops while my wife hit the thrift and clothes stores. I always wanted to take a bike on the train to cruise in the city for the day! My wife doesn't like mixing it up in traffic on a bike. Que lastima! You have inspired me to make an urban curb/stair jumper from an older mt. frame and a good shock 1x with big fat tires to have some fun in the city. I'm not into the sidewalk riding though. I like dicing with the cars and trucks!! Keep riding and videoing!

    Such a fine line dealing with street people, whether it’s buying a tube or giving them some money. I just go by how they make me feel when I look in their eyes. If they’re the right person, I get empathetic. If they’re scum, I feel uncomfortable and a sudden need to split. Love your channel, bro!
