Wanted: Key Operator(s) (person or group) for Busycle (San Francisco and Bay Area)



The famous Busycle (http://Busycle.com) a Boston based recycling project
(catalyzed by Boston artists Matthew Mazzotta and Heather Clark) that
has found 14 happy cyclists joyously pedaling mayors and other city
dignitaries around in big cities across the US is looking for someone
who can oversee it in the San Francisco Bay Area. A date has already
been set (Friday, July 28) for a visit with San Francisco elected
officials and that is what we need the person described below for.
However, if a qualified person comes forward, we can include our 5 other
Bay Area cities (Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, Palo Alto, and San Jose)
for the short demonstration rides to the city halls that the 5th Annual
(http://www.bikeroute.com/NationalMayorsRide2006) National Mayors' Ride
will also be stopping in.

We need someone who can:
-- Get the Busycle to and from each of the staging areas (sadly, a motor
vehicle will be needed)
-- Shuttle it from its Palo Alto location or store it in a safe area
when it is not in use
-- Make any repairs that are necessary
-- Pilot the Busycle (small learning curve)

The rewards:
-- Miles of smiles
-- Constant attention
-- Press opportunities
-- Tons of fun

What the Busycle still could use:
- A 6x12¹ or larger trailer
- A car cover
