[*BCM*] Re: Bostoncriticalmass Digest, Vol 14, Issue 5

[J Magnusson]

What is the bike walk event?  If it involves bikes in
Cambridge, I'm in.  I don't quite think this is the
way to change attitudes there, but I'm more than
willing to take this approach anyway.  I can maybe
rally a few other "bike-positive" folks, too, even if
we no longer live in Cambridge.

Will it be at usual Critical Mass time, or is this a
separate event?

thanks,
julia
