[Big Dave]

Draft of the BRONZ poster attached.

Everyone is going to do this. :yes:

[bladez]

sounds like a bloody good idea better than mine camping at helen clarks house:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[bugjuice]

is it getting press/media coverage?

[Ixion]

Well, at least BRONZ are more into it this year than they were last year! When emails to all the braches were ignored by everyone except Otago

I wonder why they are not having it on the same day as the rest of the world ? RTWD is actually an international event

2006 RTWD info here http://www.ridetowork.org/pages.php?pageid=12

Not to quibble (though I just did).

Tis good anyway. Lets all do it. Anyone who doesn't ride to werk/school/uni/ is gay. OK. Unless they are really gay in which case they're straight . OK?

[Blairos]

I'm in for this! A great way to get visibility on our on-going "cage-awareness" crusade...:done:

[VasalineWarrior]

Ride to work everyday anyway. Maybe we should make it ''ride to work in second gear only'' day, or ''wheelie to work day'', that way we'd get heaps of people noticing!

[terbang]

Yup I'll ride to work that day..

[Big Dave]

too late for the bike mags - I rang a sub editor I know at the harold and he's giving me some help - long shot but.

it needs a celebrity for them - Tamaki?:slap:

actually,

EVERYONE RING/EMAIL/TELL YOUR FAVOURITE MEDIA OUTLET AND LET THEM KNOW AND REQUEST COVERAGE.

I'll write a press release later.

I'll have to make sure that if Im working that day that I take the bike to work, along with a bloody big lock (had one of my bikes stolen while at work). If I'm not working then the chances are high that I'll be off for a ride somewhere...

Just noticed demonstrates is typo'd - just as well 'tis a draft.

[bugjuice]

i'll see what other papers i can get hold of tomorrow.
what/where's the budget for press ads etc? do they have some sort of donation fund for this sort of stuff? Or will the press run it for free?

[Ixion]

The Climate.

Meh. That's no excuse .

[sAsLEX]

might have to clean the bike for it................................................ ......well lets not go being silly................but I will be riding, do every other day,except for 4 thursdays a year rep to who guesses why.

[miSTa]

Ride to work everyday regardless of weather with the only one exception - snow :Punk:

[Gazzar]

[onearmedbandit]

29th is a Wednesday right? Day off work for me, so I'll be riding anyway.

[Sutage]

[Ixion]

We do. Point of this exercise is to remind the rest of the world of that fact.

No money sorry - has to be editorial coverage - which is hard to come by.

[Big Dave]

Ride to work naked day!

Camera is ready girlfriend.

[Karma]

Those who know me wouldn't wanna see me naked... you seen me on Saturday in coro anyway Dave, maybe my ninja skills are so honed I can hide in plan sight!

[Big Dave]

Yeah - my office is at home too - I'll go visit a client during the day.

My office isn't at home, it's just a low-rise building next to the apartment...good 'cos I don't have to put boring, straight-line commuting km's on the bike :niceone:

[sunhuntin]

i ride to and from work anyways......either that or walk! LOL.

maybe ill ride home erratically...on the footpath maybe? LOL. first ive heard about it here....pity we cant get ads on the tv letting others know about it~

29th is a Wednesday right? Day off work for me, so I'll be riding anyway.
i doubt i'll have a job yet, so i'll just get up around 7:30 and bike around between 8:00am and 9:00am, or something like that...

[Swoop]

I'm in. As every other day of the week.:scooter:

Could this poster be placed on the main page of the site, closer to the time? Might wake a few people up - especially all those unknown "visitors" who watch the site.
