BIKE! AGAINST WAR

Every day that war continues, bring your bike downtown to join mobile direct actions! Hundreds of
bicyclists will occupy streets in the downtown area -- we will provide a powerful presence that says
NO TO WAR! NO TO OIL DEPENDENCY! NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!

BIKES NOT BOMBS

Every Business Day!
5:00pm Meet at Justin Herman Plaza Embarcadero BART

Bring Your Bike!!! Bring the SHOCK Of Smiles and the AWE Of Democracy!!!

We will be temporarily occupying intersections to block traffic, but we are NOT out to pick a fight.
Angry motorists should be dealt with respectfully and diplomatically.

Since the U.S. preference for a suburban Drive Everywhere lifestyle is the main reason we're in
Iraq, how about moving the protests to some more appropriate place like Livermore and sticking them
with the $450,000 daily police bill?

How in the hell is blocking traffic and irritating people - who may actually agree with you - going
to bring an end to this war any sooner? What a stupid idea.

Here's to hoping you and the other lameasses that are giving cyclists a bad name are arrested, like
you deserve to be.

You and your ilk are truly pathetic.

no, people like you who won't take action against this ILLEGAL WAR waged by an UNELECTED CHIEF
EXECUTIVE are the ones that are pathetic.

=v= I think this is a good idea. Feel free to organize your own affinity group and make it happen.
Blue-skying on Usenet only goes so far; what counts is action. <_Jym_
