Bring your Bikes to the October 5th World Can't Wait Rally. What better way to demonstrate against the Bush regime's war for oil and against it's deception on climate change and environmental issues, than on a bike?

Bring your bike and a sign to Pershing square, for a Critical Mass style ride.  The mobility of the bike will allow us to be seen on streets where the marchers would otherwise not be seen on. Also it will demonstrate an alternative method of transportation not dependant on oil.

Or, use a small piece of cardboard, paint it, and tie it to your handle bars, to your backpack, or wear it around your neck.
