We had a ride last year, as part of the National Ride of Silence, and police rode with us.
This might be a good time for another ride. ----- Original Message ----- From: "India Viola" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 10:27:10 AM Subject: Re: [Bikies] recent rash of incidents, what to do? Someone could organize a somber, mostly silent, very respectful of the rules of the road, SLOW ride to honor those who have been injured while riding a bicycle (think funeral procession). If it was coordinated with the bike cops and bike ambassadors we could have literature and other educational materials (appropriate for all road users) to hand out to bystanders (autos, peds & bikes, etc.) who are curious along the way. Just one idea. -India On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 9:40 AM, < [email protected] > wrote: If its by-the-book, signal-all-turns, only-2-abreast, etc. I'm in. This morning's commute was a doozy. Quoting ronald pedersen < [email protected] >: <blockquote> with all the recent incidents of deadly crashes, and having had a couple of near misses myself, I would love to have a sort of critical mass ride to highlight the need for motorists to be more careful and aware of cyclists right to the road. I also think we need to have a bit of focus on the need for cyclists to follow the law regarding headlights and stop signs and stoplights. It should be on a major route at a busy time of day. It should also be large enough to garner some real attention by the media. anyone interested? ______________________________ _________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/ listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet. org ______________________________ _________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/ listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet. org </blockquote> -- :typed by one hand while nursing: WeAreAllMechanics.com [email protected] Stay connected- Follow WAAM on Facebook _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
