Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am starting the iniative

So, Tracey Sparling was just killed. Let's remember her and all cyclists killed with a nationwide ride on November 23rd. This is the day after Thanksgiving so most people should be off and able to ride. As cyclists we need to go out and support our cause. A full-fledged urban assault with white armbands should be undertaken. Am I alone and delusional in this cause? If so, please let me know.
Please organize in your own city. I will be starting tomorrow.

Here is something similar that has been running for some years.

I think it's a great idea
