I have to say that I'm impressed with Kevin McGran's BikeFriday article in the Star this morning.

(If you have the ink & paper version, the article starts on the bottom of the first page of the GTA section, with a photo of me later in the section)
"I'm trying to get people together to organize some sort of morning commute... even if we just get 10 people cycling together, it's still better than cycling by yourself.

When you're in even a small group, even just two or three people, cars automatically give you a wider berth and you feel safer. You're a visual presence on the road. It's a really nice feeling, a little more safe."
I've also heard that CFRB radio mentioned it this morning...

I have to admit, this is exciting... although I have to figure out how to say a few words at City Hall tomorrow morning with no fancy amplification devices. :)

I hope everyone will be able to hear me.
