FLCC> [Fwd: For Immediate Release cyclovia saturdays (2)]

[Wayne Gottlieb]

I can't make this cyclovia (daughters graduation,
hurray!!), but I want to encourage everyone who takes
part to be sensitive to motor traffic.  I don't think
it make sense to hold up traffic.  Besides, if we ride
single file, our line of bikes will be longer and more
impressive.   Just a suggestion.  Wayne

I was asked to forward this to the cycling community. 
Seems harmless.
