Downtown Santa Ana Gets Invaded...by Bikes!

​Frequently, folks assail the Weekly for never writing anything positive, conveniently ignoring the unrequited love we give restaurants and local bands. Here's some digital teddy bears and rainbows: every other Monday, the fine cabrones at Calacas in downtown SanTana schedule a mass bike ride around town--like Critical Mass, except without the pseudo-leftist philosophical reasoning. I went to the last one, and it was probably the only place outside Memphis that all the parts of SanTana meet--the hipsters and wabs, young and old, middle-class and working. Truly, wonderfully beautiful.

The next one is this Monday--interested folks should meet outside Calacas at 5:30 in the evening, and the ride starts at 6 and lasts an hour. Calacas' address is 324 W. Fourth Street, and their phone number is (714) 662-2002.

And now, Bicycle Repairman!
