[Sosfbay-discuss] Fwd: A Great Idea from Charlotte/Start a bicycling group for peace in Santa Clara Co.

[JamBoi]

Hmm... great idea Charlotte!  A local Bike4Peace event or series of
events!  Awesome!  I like that right there up front in the name the
purpose of the whole event would be for peace!

Folks in the SVBC were trying for a long time to get a Critical Mass
going in the S.Bay (CM started in SF here's a web page of a Critical
Mass activist & writer, Cris Carlsson
http://www.scorcher.org/cmhistory/ ), and held a number of them a few
of which I participated in.  However I think in the end they may have
found them a bit too 'edgy' and backed away.  But the Green Party could
be the obvious place to go to find leadership for this new, leading
edge concept of Bike4Peace which as I noted even 'peace' in the title
would mitigate against some of the destructive tendencies that the
Critical Mass has sometimes exhibited.  

I think the idea has strong merit and I think it would be especially
good if the GPSC found ways like this to get out front in leading the
progressive community in political activism, not just tagging along
with other groups.

What do the other cycling activists, like Gerry, Bob, Cameron and Tian
think about this idea???

Organize, Energize, Coalize!

said for something like this I would get a bike.  I bet you she would
even get involved with this.
