Posts Tagged “Critical Mass”

I have transcended the limits of my own blog, and have posted at the Reno Passport’s site.
TommyGuns asked me to post something about Critical Mass, so I gave it a shot, and here’s what came out.

That is all.

With the permission of “Hans”, I re-post this:

Have you noticed an increase of bicycle riders in our streets? It is almost dramatic! Hot August Nights brings a lot of focus on fuel driven vehicles. This could be an excellent time and opportunity to the public aware of the wholesome, healthy alternative of bike riding. There finally seems to be a growing alertness and readiness to act by our authorities. If we could motivate a thousand folks to participate in the Hot August Bike Ride it could just make the statement to propel our authorities to make riding safer in our area with appropriate biking facilities.

While Critical Mass rides have their values, to transcend them we have requested Reno city government support and police escort.

How?
Join the Hot August Bike Ride on 8/8, 6 PM at the West Street Market (West St. between 1st and 2nd Streets) in downtown Reno.

Why?

  • To help raise the consciousness for bike riding as a wholesome, ecological transportation alternative.
  • To make a statement to our authorities for more and better biking lanes and paths, for biking education in schools and corresponding law enforcement.
  • For greater health.
  • For fun and camaraderie.

Who?
Anyone who can ride a bike is welcome to join!

I went ahead and re-posted it also on Facebook, as an event. Click here to check it out and RSVP if you’re cool like that. Or, you know, you can just show up.

I will.
