Last year it got moved from its usual location and then rained on. The bikefest site gone and it's not listed in Momentum's calendar. The Car Free day will be spread around six neighbourhoods. What this town needs is a /real/ Car Free Day, like Bogota. Or even better -- street party all along E 1st Ave, c/w stilt-walkers, jugglers, marching brass bands, smoothies (mescaline-laced optional,) costumes, displayed artwork, pedal-powered floats, dominoes tournaments, ice cream cones, oxygen and everything non-Car. No clowns, though. They'd just freak-out the mescaline-laced smoothie folks. I kinda like those balloon thingies that look like tube people, where blasts of air inflates 'em and makes their tube arms wave around. They're a nice prop for events. cheers, Tom -- "Going Up the 'Pool" -- Jethro Tull tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

"Matt O'Toole" wrote in message news The Virginia Bicycling Federation wants to know what everyone is doing for Bike Month. What does your bike club, organization, company, or local government have planned? I plan to buy rounds (shots) for the house in my very favorite Irish bar until we all pass out in the gutter, face down, and eventually get carted off to the local crack house, where I will buy rounds for the house...

I'm sorely tempted to scare-up a beach bomber, 'n do the Solstice Ride this upcoming June. cheers, Tom Thanks for the link. I'm signed up for Bike To Work Week now. Of all the cycling events, Bike To Work Week really strikes a chord with me. It gently invites people to not only recognize, but actually experience bicycling as a viable means of true, meaningful and practical transportation. I just might participate, myself, although my route to work is so far off the well-beaten path (Vancouver - East Richmond via the Knight St Bridge) I most likely wouldn't get to enjoy the supportive way-stations of the VACC, which are typically set up along bike routes like the Adanac. That's okay, I usually lone wolf it anyways. Any reluctance on my part to participate is based on the physically demanding nature of my work at a logistics/distribution warehouse. After a tough shift of unloading marine containers full of imported goods, clawing one's way up the South Hill ain't exactly a piece o' cake. I shall nevertheless certainly contribute. Bike To Work Week spreads a good message that needs to be spread. It doesn't demand that everybody burns their car to the ground. It just suggests that for some people blessed with conducive situations they haven't yet realized, there's a better way to get around. Then they can decide for themselves to burn their cars to the ground. Beautie, eh? Watch out for Mandatory Helmet Law-enforcing cops. This is when they crawl out of the woodwork. Bad boyz, bad boyz, what'ch'a gonna do, what'ch'a gonna do when they come for you ... ;-) No-helmet fines should go toward putting a cyclists' push-button traffic light @ Prince Edward St & 41st Ave. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me.

I recently was introduced to a lass who started bike commuting here in January and has continued up to the present date. Very impressive I thought personally. It's hard to start in the middle of the worst season. Far easier to start when the weather is nice and gradually accumulate wet weather gear. -- Dane Buson - It seems a little silly now, but this country was founded as a protest against taxation. |
