Ride to work day

[Ixion]

It would probably be possible to arrange sponsorship for some sort of breakfast (ACC or others).

The problem I see is that Dorkland is so big.

I think the treadley one was just in the CBD, and sort of assumed that anyone who didn't work in the CBD wasn't worth considering. Probably true for treadleys but not so for bikes.

So it would need to be a number of breakfasts , at various points. Which gets much more complex and much more expensive.

Given the resounding non interest in the "Meet at Maccas" theme, I suspect that breakfasts might be equally unpatronised. Perhaps because the treadley crowd tend to work in jobs where arriving to work on time is less important? (That's not actually a shot at the treadlers, just that some jobs are less clock driven) . So they can take the time out of the morning, whereas bikers tend to have to be at work on time and therefore the morning communt is more time stressed ?

if you havent haerd the cops where out in force busting people and ticketing them for
lane splitting
The POLICE where wading into the traffic around Tristram Ave pulling bikers off the road for lane splitting!!!!
Groups were being pulled off at a time getting a $50 fine
The ticket is for "failing to stay within the entirety of a lane"
great support huh

Went to the BRONZ meeting tonight and got myself a new good looking FFM M9 lid.

It was their monthly meeting and I must say that I was impressed with the thought and actions that they are taking on, on our behalf. Enough for me to join.
