[Sosfbay-discuss] Did My Bike Help?

[Bob Alavi]

Last Thursday (10/5), I parked my bike -- properly -- on the bicycle rack -- in front of the entrance to El Camino Hospital ALL DAY.  The "special effect" was it had Tian Harter's Lawn Sign ( http://tian.greens.org/ ) mounted on it -- all day!  Right in front of the entrace that had a lot more traffic, with much better visibility than my lawn!
   
  Was that a better use of the lawn sign -- in front of the entrance than my yard?  
   
  At any rate, on the way back, around 5 PM, watching the traffic going down Grant Road, I figured it was at least 100 times more than what passed in front of my yard.  So, guess what?
   
  Right.  I promptly placed the lawn sign at GRANT and SLEEPER.  Right & Ready in front of the heavy commuter traffic eyes.
   
  Every Green I know seems to have a bike to ride and a couple to spare.  My question is:
   
  Can we make a good use of those bikes THROUGH NOV. 7, to publicize Green Candidates?  
   
  THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  I am going to rotate my spare bike in front of "Safeway, Albertsons, Nob Hill, and yes CALTRAIN".  If you think it may be effective, pass the idea on to State and National Greens.  Then remeber BART, Major intersections, FWY overpasses ...  I only subscribe locally here to "sosfbay".
   
  (Keep an eye out for the parked bicycle bearing a Green Candidate Lawn Sign :)))) at your favorite local marketplace :))))
   
  THOUGHT 2:  Can we expand that theme by placing signs elsewhere?  (Hint:  A couple of weeks ago, in a neighborhood picnic in the park, I tied some HELIUM BALLOONS to that bike, then placed it right on the entry path to Picnic Area; of course with an 8.5 x 11 candidate sign that was printed by the computer!
   
  THOUGHT 3:  How can YOU increase your one vote, towards that 1,000,000?
