Bikes Alive latest!
"Dear Bikes Alive friends
As you might have seen from the announcement that went up on the Bikes Alive website last night, the next pre-announced Bikes Alive action of organised self defence against the violence of motor traffic is at Kings Cross, from 6pm to 7pm on Monday 23 January (see bikesalive.wordpress.com for more details). Cyclists and others will again forcibly, but non-violently, calm the traffic at Kings Cross for an hour - both in opposition to Transport for London's policy of prioritising vehicle speed above the safety, health, and sanity of everyone else on the streets, and also in opposition specifically to the lethal nature of the roads at Kings Cross, where changes currently being made by TfL will actually make matters worse. Please also note a Bikes Alive planning meeting, expected for 7pm this Thursday, in the Kings Cross area. Confirmation of the details will follow later - watch the website... BIKES ALIVE NEEDS YOU! If you support this initiative, what can you do to help? Please: 1) Keep an eye on the website for news. 2) If you received this message indirectly, send us your e-mail address for direct notifications in future. 3) If you're on Twitter, follow @BikesAlive to receive occasional alerts - and check for others tweeting about #BikesAlive. 4) Actively spread the information about 23 January to local groups in your area - not just cyclists' groups, but other environmental, pedestrian, etc, campaigners who might be interested. 5) Contact all relevant blogs and other websites you know of, to get this event mentioned (including a reference to bikesalive.worldpress.com). 6) Come to the planning meeting if there's anything at all you can do to help with ideas or actions. If you want to see these actions getting bigger, happening more frequently, and spreading around London (or even continuing at all...) - it's up to you to help! Posters for next week's action: Attached you'll find some artwork, in 2 different formats (in the hope that everyone can cope with one or the other of them), which you could print out and put up at local cycle shops and other likely places, all over London. They're not actually intended for people to post up on hoardings in the Kings Cross area... Best wishes Bikes Alive" http://bikesalive.wordpress.com/ -- . A driving licence is a licence to kill. |
