Ideally, I would love for this ride to pass all of the bikes currently mapped out -- in that order - to end with a gathering at the 1000 Ghost Bikes Monument. Due to distance constraints and based on bike conditions, we can modify route. Up until 3 days ago, the route was the same as last year - with the addition of Liza's and Jepson's bikes.

Final planning meeting before the RoS is Monday, April 26th, at 7pm in the meeting room at REI in Lincoln Park.

Route will be discussed - we need help restoring ghost bikes.
Outreach to friends, family, community
Need flyers? They are available for download from the Chicago RoS webpage
RoS pins (large and small) will be available. (suggested donation: $1 per small; $2 per large)

According to this blog, "In 2008, a total of 27 bicycle riders were killed and 3,385 seriously injured in Illinois bicycle accidents."

E.A. and I were fortunate to meet the founder of ROS last weekend at the Michigan Bike Summit. We also had dinner with him and a number of other folks who organize one of the 35 ROS in Michigan. You can read about our adventure here.

Route being set tonight - hopefully. The main difference from last year's route will be an effort to pass Liza Whitacre's bike at Wellington & Damen.

I clearly need to join this group.
the ghost bike at Augusta / California has so many similarities to me..
and my birthday is 5/19

I will also try to make the meeting tonight...

As some know, I recently updated my ghost bike content, which includes a sample route passing all (not proposing for RoS, just reference): http://bedno.com/ghosts
Accepting donations online was mentioned on agenda. Y'all are free to snag and alter the super simple PayPal button and source here, and of course donations is a BreakTheGridlock.org core function. Not trying to self promote, just being useful. Other than noting the preceding I'm out. Have a great meeting!

H3N3 - Where is the Bikewinter Swap Meet? I think it would be beneficial... and maybe some volunteers will come forward to help out at the first planning meeting, too...
