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!
