RIDE OF SILENCE May 21st 7pm

THE RIDE OF SILENCE? WILL NOT BE QUIET

On May 21, 2008, at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence? will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.

The Ride of Silence this year is being organized by North Orange County Bicycle Advocacy Coalition NOCBAC.org. We will meet at the Downtown Plaza in Fullerton. The same place we have met the last few years. It is locate on Wilshire between Harbor and Pomona next to the Museum (301 N. Pomona ave Fullerton CA 92832) MAP
People are encouraged to meet at 6:30 pm and we will leave at 7 pm. Bring front and rear lights. Wear a black arm band.

We will have a booth at The Fullerton Green Scene

This coming weekend the 19th and 20th we will have a booth at The Green Scene at the Fullerton Arboretum on the Cal State Fullerton Campus. Please come by and say hi, or if you have some free time we could use some volunteers to help with the booth. Email me Mike@NOCBAC.org

Volunteers need for bicycle traffic count.

Fullerton city engineering staff is cooperating with Brea on a neighborhood meeting to discuss the Puente Street bike bridge. Bicycle traffic counts will help the cities and neighbors understand what kind of cyclist traffic can be expected. Volunteers are needed to apply a methodology for bike counts and conduct a simple count. Tasks will include sitting for a half day (or several half days) at one of three locations and counting the passing cyclists. This will probably include two work days and one day on a weekend.
Please let NOCBAC know if you are interested in participating.
