Hopeful, no reports from this morn either

Agreed, lets hope that it is just rumors that won't be substantiated.

I had a great day, thanks everyone. Found a few new muscles now though.

Well worth it.

i just got in the door and didnt see any accidents, though an ambo and firey both went flying past at different times. who knows where they were headed for though.

EDIT: i was told of an off at sanson this morning... someone showing off shot out of shell and rear ended a car. no injuries, but the bike is apparently a wreck. co worker told me at the stadium.

awesome ride today everyone... well done! good ride down... ive never felt so comfortable in a group before.
adrian: you are easily one of the best riders i have ever had the pleasure of sharing a road with. congrats! nice to meet both you and james, and hope to ride with you both again.

had a good ride home once i got past peka peka... for someone reason it was a total traffic jam until then... dunno why. sat on 110 almost the whole way home. only one cop who was parked in plain view with his tail lights going. rain started in levin, but i managed to outrun it until about sanson, where it settled in for good.

Plan is to park one bike per car park (bring coinage for meters) along selected roads in central palmy, then hand out flyers and get sigs on the petition etc.

Assemble in square before 8:30am on the 19th December, numbers of bikes there will determine which streets we park along.

Protest is designed for maximum impact with a minimum of inconvenience to the public, so we plan to park along one side of the selected roads, as well as stationing groups of bikes near selected pedestrian choke points.

Flyers and petition details will be added to this thread within a few days.

Put the word out, the more the merrier!
