Does anyone have contacts at the Mayor's Office to invite BOTH the outgoing and incoming Mayors to ride with us in the Chicago ROS? Or to at least come show their support at Daley Plaza?

Just sent a post to the Ghost Bike list too.
ROS route currently visits ghost bikes at points A & C on this map - http://bit.ly/iF39OS
This ghost bike would be near point B, I think - based on info in the article.
