[SDCBC] Bike Moves - how about YOU?

[Jim Baross]

Ok, no responses from this SDCBC list (yet).... :-(

Is this list only populated with bicyclists who don't ever carry 
anything bulky by bike?... even groceries?

I am seriously trying to find others who have equipment and interest 
in doing a Bike Move of some sort... even once.

So, do you have a bike that can carry stuff, a bike trailer, 
side-car, longboy or other type of bike for hauling stuff?
Would you be willing to participate and/or to loan you equipment to 
someone who would?
I'm compiling a list of you who do - names, email and what you have 
(no addresses for potential theft excursions!). I have several "hits" 
from the Critical Mass folks list, now how about you?

Next I'd try to find someone or organization planning a local move - 
relatively easy to bike - of stuff that the available equipment and 
people could move... possibly with some filming. For someone moving? 
Maybe for the SDBC Christmas Toy Ride? Maybe to/from the next 
Velodrome swap meet to deliver and/or take out stuff for the Bike 
Kitchen's use? For Bike to Work Day, May 16th, 2008? Maybe for a 
parade contingent of bicycling gear... or carrying a band if we got a 
big enough trailer? Or maybe you have some ideas?

Why? 'Cause it would be fun. 'Cause it would certainly be a "cleaner" 
move. 'Cause it would make a point that our sustainable transpo 
cool-mode efforts can replace some relatively earth-warming modes.

Wanna help?
