1. Green Day Information Table Tuesday 8 Jan 2002

Jerusalem for Bicycles, in cooperation with "Megama Yeruka" will have an
information table about bicycles on Tuesday 8 Jan 2002 at the Forum at the
Hebrew University Mt. Scopus campus. At the table, we will be distributing
information about the bike path that we're lobbying for the city to build,
called "Sobu Zion b'Ofnayim" or "Go 'Round Jerusalem by Bicyle".

Information on recommended bike paths from the Keren Kayemet will be
distributed too.

You'll also be able to buy "Jerusalem for Bicycles" t-shirts. Free whistles
and balloons. And of course there will be stickers and signs for bikes.

People will be able to sign up to become members of Jerusalem for Bicycles.
We hope to see a big crowd there at the information table. Hours: 10:00 AM -
4:30 PM.


2. Special Critical Mass Ride Friday 11 Jan 2002

In addition to the regular CM rides (last Friday of every month, HaMashbir 1
PM), there will be a special CM ride as part of the Green Week. This special
CM ride on Friday 11 Jan 2002 will also start from HaMashbir at 1 PM. The
ride will be about 3/4 hour around the center of town. The goal of the ride
is to draw the public's attention to the difficult situation for biking
without a marked, safe bike path around the city. A bike path that doesn't
disturb the traffic, and which contributes to reducing pollution by
encouraging bicycling.

This will be a special CM in more ways than one. Firstly it's in addition to
our usual CM on the last Friday of the month. Secondly and most importantly
we plan to have at least 100 cyclists at the Mashbir square at 1300 hrs on
the 11th Jan. Megama Yeruka is going all out to advertise this and so are
we. Our motto is "We aren't against the traffic = We are part of the
traffic."
