Ride is a loop
End location: Salmom Springs or City hall
I have successfully reserved a 3 minute time slot during the "public comment" at City Hall sept 17th at 6pm. I will be pitching a city ordinance to make idling personal automobiles for longer than 5 minutes a ticketable offense (a non-moving violation in the same class as a parking ticket). Why do you care? Because you breathe in air. And a lot of air. Also because the rumble of idling cars is loud, and because the car idling population could spend thier money in other ways that could benefit the local economy (instead of burning it up out the tailpipe...) This ride is for discussion and to try to create momentum around the proposed city ordinance and to promote awareness of this proposed ordinance, generate a discussion around the idea, and get some good old fashioned excersize on the way home from work. No, you will not have a time slot to speak at the city hall, unless you happened to have signed up months ago, but you will have the chance to support me in my endevor by this bike ride. The ride will have to be very punctual. We'll have to meet at about 5:05 and leave at 5:25, also we'll have to have a decent (fast-ish) pace to the ride. You get bonus points if you wear a tie. Extra bonus points if you wear a suit and tie. Dress apparel for the win!!
