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

**bugjuice** · 19th March 2006, 10:15

is it getting press/media coverage?

**Ixion** · 19th March 2006, 10:16

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?

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

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** · 19th March 2006, 10:56

Yup I'll ride to work that day..

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** · 19th March 2006, 11:29

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?
