ASAP Need Vehicle & Driver for National Mayors' Ride

Post by nbgmartin » Wed Apr 29, 2009 4:27 pm

As per the following article that Jason Green created for us at the Palo Alto Daily News, we still do not have the most crucial component needed to making this effort an exciting success. We still lack a vehicle.

Here is the above story in an easy to read PDF format that U can pass along -

What's more is that I just completed an interview with Kristen Sze of ABC 7 TV. It will air Friday morning. And as I demonstrated the bike for her on the Bike Blvd and as people and cars stopped and wanted to know what was going on, Kristen kept thanking me for all the excitement that was at hand. This historic bike is the most sensational machine I have ever traveled on. Yes, it turns more heads and creates more electricity than the Busycle which may or may not accompany us (see blow)..

Come on friends. I know there are many people out there who are in a position to help. If you have a vehicle no matter how big or small that you can drive for a hour a day that I can base this ride out of, please, please help me bring hope and the message of a National Bicycle Greenway to the nation at large. For that matter, if want to donate $3000 a month, I can rent a new camper and can likely more easily locate a driver. That is unless you know a cheaper way.

And if towing the Busycle has held you back, we can leave it behind. We can get it back to Boston another way. But the Eagle and I absolutely have to go. I can make it as far as Folsom on 5/10 without such support. After which I will NOTT be able to administer the Mayors' Ride unless I have a gas (bio diesel!!??) powered office......

I know many of you agree this is getting pretty ridiculous. Are we going to let something as huge and historic as http://www.bikeroute.com/NationalMayorsRide2009 fall by the way side over something that most of us take for granted? Something that normally makes trips that just add to the planet's problems - a motorhome or camper truck or van?

THX to all of you who have donated to this ride. Now we just gotta keep the cash flow coming in as supported by a car and driver!!

THX 4 all of U!!
