I got the message. I am also aware of an increasing number of bike/car incidents. We need to raise awareness around the issue of sharing the road. Perhaps our local bike community may want to band together and produce some PSA's for radio and television.

My thoughts excactly. CCCC is a good crowd but the club needs some reviving/younger blood. I'll be there Friday w/ bells on (at least on my bike).

Kate: Love the theme on your BikeRiot page. Sweet!

Let me know if I can help with the CCCC thing. Partly started this network to create a hipper image for bikes and bikers in the community. CCCC, (I'm a member,) can come off looking very conservative and let's say....50ish. (Which I'm only months away from actually being myself, but I'm goin' down swinging!) So getting some cross participation in these two ventures would be great.

Cheers and don't forget the Critical Mass ride on Friday 5:30 at the Open Space.
