Gay Pride Parade -- Looking for Riders
We've got a full group of cyclists/rollerbladers at this point -- thanks to all who have volunteered/shown interest. If anyone really wants to participate, contact me through Chainlink.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking for people to ride with the Active Transportation Alliance group in the Gay Pride Parade. The parade will be held on Sunday, June 28, in Lakeview in Chicago, starting a bit before noon.
I'm an Active Transportation volunteer, and have worked with the folks at Active Trans to pull this together at the last minute. We can't have a huge group (per the parade organizers), but I would like to make a good showing.
If you're an Active Transportation member, that'd be great but it's not a requirement. It's also not a requirement that anyone who particiates identify as a part of the LGBT community, but I do ask that anyone who participates be supportive of the community. There's also a list of parade rules and participants need to agree to those.
I don't have full details yet (as I said...it's last minute)...but I'll keep people informed as I know things. The parade starts at noon, so we'll need to meet up before that. What time things end partially depends on where we end up in the line-up.
My goal is to get a group that represents Active Transportation and have a ride that's a little different, and a lot of fun. Please get in contact if you're interested, have questions, whatever. Thanks!

But I am not gay although some people strongly disagree. Hard to know what to be proud of. Geez I really hate to brag . . .

I would like to pass this invitation on to my group's listserv. Who/how should they contact if they are interested?

Hi Kate -
I appreciate the interest, but I think at this point we've got a pretty full group. The parade didn't want to be overtaken by bikers (their loss) and gave me a pretty low number that they wanted to see -- which I of course have already exceeded. I hate telling volunteers "no", but think at this point we're going to have to try for a greater mass next year.

Actually...now I'm looking for walkers. Anyone know folks who might want to be monitors and walk with the group? We need two. Thanks.

Thanks for letting me tag along, although I am very sunburned, I did have a great time. Who ever has pictures can you please post links here and we can chat about where the rainbow really does end.

Hey Sue:
I met you on the ride of silence, and I am happy to ride in the parade.

Thanks, all!
I think we'll have another discussion group, soon, for this year rather than resurrecting last year. I've also entered the parade as an event this year.
More info soon. -

I'm up for more ass smacking this year. Last year I just showed up on Halsted - same as that for this year?
