Come over after work - there are facilities to change clothes for he ride. we hope to share this hour with each other, pausing at 7pm along the way, and know thousands across the planet will also have marked the hour; but also raise awareness among the many local motorists who will be witnesses of our parade. & have plenty of reflectors & lights... In case you don't know, California law changed in January and lights & reflectors are required on bikeways and sidewalks now, so we are starting early to get everyone back by sunset . Please wear an arm band; Black in solidarity - or Red if you have been injured by a motorist. (Inexpensive head / wrist band sets or cut up tube socks work well...)
