Hello Fellow Big Thinkers!!

Last week, I sent an abbreviated version of the following note to 
Mayor Sissine, our Cycle America 2000 party connection:

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
----------
Might Mt. Rainier be able to welcome us with the same kind of party 
that Santa Cruz is sending us off with as per what I sent you today 
at http://www.bikeroute.com/SantaCruzSendOff.html ? Maybe we can 
raise your city's profile with such a reception for our riders? 
Perhaps we can showcase your downtown by holding a street fair after 
our ride at http://www.bikeroute.com/CycleAmerica2000 is done (2PM)? 
Maybe you can rally the town merchants to receive us kind of like a 
giant many storefronted chamber of commerce mixer?? Maybe they can 
all have hors d'oeurves while a band plays on the closed down street 
in front of their businesses? Toward that end, the well known Bilenky 
Bros have already said they will play at our event. For the Cause! 
Their web: http://www.bilenky.com/bcwbandpic.html

Heck we can also have a bike rodeo out in front and stunt riders 
flying their bikes on a ramp -- I'm sure I can get GT to send their 
team for free for something like this. Maybe we can even get some 
street theatre and for sure clowns and mimes and jugglers. Maybe at 
your next  council you could broach this topic and see if you can't 
get a committee together?? This could be a blast!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fred thought it was a great idea and referred me to a couple of other 
shakers and movers out his way that might be able to work some magic 
with this. Who else wants to play?

**Let's have some Big Time Fun to call attention to the need for a 
nation wide network of bicycle highways and improved infrastructure 
to service them!!**

		Yahoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw: I've added new names to our DC Coalition. So if you do not want 
to be kept appraised of what we have coming for next August out your 
way, just reply with REMOVE in the subject line.
