Note: I cut two of the clips from this post. They can currently be seen here.

BREAKING NEWS: DA Drops Charges Against RevPhil PLUS Naked Ride Saturday Night!

Watch Video & Read Story

Click above to Play Tonight's Video
PORTLAND, OR - The DA has dropped the charges against Reverend Phil. RevPhil won't get his day in court but he also won't have to face 2 1/2 years in jail, either.

Just by coincidence, there will be a naked bike ride Saturday night. It will be originating from free geek. I do not know the time yet but will let you know when I find out.

During the 2006 World Naked Bike Ride, RevPhil was arrested after being hit by a mean spirited and drunk driver (according to witness testimony) who's boyfriend happened to be an off-duty cop . Phil was charged with various crimes and misdemeanors while the real criminal was scurried off. Just last week Phil told me "I really want this to go to trial so we can expose what really happened in court."

This matter may never fully be exposed in a court of law, but, to celebrate Naked Justice, you can expose yourself tomorrow on a Pedalpalooza BONUS Naked Bike Ride.

See you tomorrow at the Multnomah County Bike Fair where we'll attempt to webcast live.

In the latest episode of the Bicyclist, the gauntlet is thrown down... twice. It seems Conrad knows a thing or two about jousting. Perhaps he knows more than he should.

Bike Porn Fest & Midnight Ride

Watch Video & Read Story

Click To Play
PORTLAND, OR - Here is a quick slice from the Bike Porn Fest and The Midnight Mystery ride from Friday June 8th, 2007. This video is does not include pornography. If you are looking for that the world wide web awaits. RevPhil's Bike Porn, however, did contain pornography. The "pornography of the bicycle" and all the permutations you might think that means, some you wouldn't expect, and some you, perhaps, we're not ready for.

Was it exploitive of bicycles? Yes, but they seemed to enjoy it. Without question, though, the audience was pleased.

In the next few weeks I will play a few selected clips from the showing but you really ought to encourage the bad reverend to re-screen it in Portland or take it on the road to your hometown.

BikePorn and the Midnight Mystery Ride were part of Pedalpalooza; Portland's 2+ weeks of bikey fun which currently runs through June 23rd. Stay tuned to CrankMyChain! for more Pedalpalooza videos!
