Don’t forget, Ride of Silence on May 19th.
As an everyday yearround bike commuter in Westerly,
how and where can I spread my biking enthusiasm?
Lead, follow or get out of the way! I'll do the first two
and tell me how I can do it!
Jay, I'd say just be seen riding, but only mass rides competing for roadnet get noticed and respected. On the other hand, do you really care if nobody else bikes? As long as they don't cause wars over oil, contract cancer and heart disease which you pay for in astronomical hmo premiums, destroy atmosphere, pollute water, wreck environment by motoring, what do we care?
Honor cycling victims and raise "share the road" awareness at Ride of Silence, Hoxie 4 Corners, May 19th, 6:30PM.
