Default July's NYC Critical Mass Ride

http://nyc.indymedia.org/newswire/di...8645/index.php

When: Friday, July 30th, 2004 at 7:00pm
Whe Union Square, North

It's the last Friday of the month again!

Time to hop on your bikes, skates, scooters, and anything else
without a motor and take to the streets for a nonpolluting
celebration! Just like every other month -- but also unlike
every month. Each ride is what you make it. So in addition
to your bikes, skates, scooters, etc., bring your ideas and
creations. Or just your sweet self.

Critical Mass in Manhattan is the last Friday of every month.

Critical Mass, an international event held in almost 400 cities
around the world, occurs on the last Friday of every month when
bicyclists spontaneously come together to ride the ordinarily
car-clogged streets of their cities. (There's a brand new
Critical Mass in Brooklyn on the second Friday of every month,
but more about that in, oh, say, two weeks.) Critical Mass
focuses on the rights of bicyclists and the rights of
pedestrians on their own streets. It also brings attention
to the deteriorating quality of life -- starting with the
toxic levels of air and noise pollution -- that cars create
for cities.

DITTO everything for Chicago, except the time and place:

Time: 5:30 PM
Place: Civic Center, in front of the Picasso sculpture.

This month, Chicago is trying to push for 3000 riders, a lot of
publicity and flyers have gone out for this month ride.
