4. SUPPORT: Trailers, sound, rescue, support, pedicab, tours, rental...
A new item important to me is better bonding with the commercial and more
than two wheel participants I see as helping ride safety. ATTENTION PEDICAB
/ TOUR / RENTAL pros and TRAILER users contact me to exchange info and/or
JOIN the new SUPPORT group:

5. RESPONSIBILITY
"Responsibility" is the official buzzword for WNBR Chicago 2009.
Inspirations being getting fair scoldings for our trail of waste in 2008,
and as a good one word summing up of proper grounds for energy use choices.
Reflect... best slogan wins something.
ALSOS:
CRITICAL MASS is TODAY! Chicago's Critical Mass rides have never gotten more
publicity. The Friday March 27th one leaving Daley Plaza around 6pm
currently proposes 27 miles on a "Green" theme. Future rides are April
