After the viral popularity of that original video of rogue cycling on L.A.'s clogged freeways, the "Crimanimalz" have released another. You can watch it here, but be forewarned: the soundtrack's pretty grating. According to a recent NPR piece, the group is planning to make these freeway bike rides a monthly thing. The whole project is a little ridiculous, but then again, so is L.A.'s transportation infrastructure.

Their new logo (above, from their new website) is rife with symbolism, by the way. Are those two-legged meerkats of alternate transportation leading the car-bound sheep of the freeway? Probably.

Thanks, Bristol.
