San Francisco to send cyclists to Chicago to Promote Safe Bikeways
For immediate release Contact: Martin Krieg
June 3, 2004 On Friday June 11 at 12:00 noon at San Francisco City Hall, the legendary Joe Breeze, one of the humble inventors of the mountain bike will have biked the Golden Gate Bridge to be a part of the third annual San Francisco NBG Day. There he will meet Arcata Mayor Bob Ornelas who will have ridden from Arcata to Napa and to all five of this years SF Bay Area Mayors' Ride cities. He will also be greeted by San Francisco schoolteacher Patrick Thomas who is riding a unicycle all the way to Chicago, the end point for this year's relay, and a team of riders coming in from Palo Alto NBG Day including "Awake Again" author Martin Krieg who will be on a Penny Farthing bicycle. At this year's event, sponsored in part by the San Francisco Bike Coalition, Mayor Gavin Newsom's office will be on hand to greet the arriving cyclists, present the 2004 San Francisco NBG Day proclamation and send Mr. Thomas and engineer Don Loomis east on their way to 11 more Mayoral receptions. In its final form, the 2004 Mayors' Ride will have visited 24 west coast cities, and 41 in all as the teams meet riders coming in from eight major cities east of Chicago, in Chicago Before San Francisco riders head east however, the west coast will still be alive with energy. Traveling with the band, C.A.M. Engine, which will be preparing population centers along the way for the riders' arrivals with music, a fleet of antique Hi Wheel bikes will create a lot of excitement as they ride the American River from Davis to Folsom collecting four Mayoral endorsements along the way. Other relay legs throughout the country will find athletes on bikes that move forward with a rowing motion as well as Mayors and former Mayors and council persons riding relay legs themselves.
