Excuse my "verbal typo" thats start time/mingling at 10:30 and begin biking just after 11:00am (thats what is on the new flyer)

Here is the newest (hopefully final) version of the Kidical Mass flyer--although its now an 11X17"poster.

It has all the updated info from group input so far:

Warren Park starting point, start time of 10am meeting/10:30 biking times, correct URLs for the websites and it presents the Rogers Park Tour as including Indian Boundary Park.

Thats all the feedback we've gotten so far...anyone else?

Hers the link to the new poster:

thanks for catching the typos on the flyers URLs- I'll fix 'em now

Love the Flyer.

I've added a basic Kidical Mass page at ChicagoCriticalMass.org/kid
Gives a short specific URL for flyer/print use. That landing links to everywhere else pertinent (such as to here), and can be updated, commented, flyer attached, etc, by interested CCM site users.

I also linked it in on the rides page: ChicagoCriticalMass.org/fridays

Note that the URL on the flyer "www.EmpiricalOpera.wordpress.org" is not what's meant (wrong TLD and prefix), should be "empiricalopera.wordpress.com"
Other URLs could also drop the www. portion,

Jason, thanks for making that great flyer!

I'll come out for the April 10th ride. I probably won't be able to make a Logan square ride every month, but would try to squeeze it in when I can. Will you and/or someone else take primary responsibility for publicizing the Apr. 10th ride?

If you could fit it in, you might want to add the Lincoln square ride on Apr. 17th (or put it in for a first flyer until the details of the May ride are solid).

See attached sample of a poster/flyer for the next two upcoming Kidical Mass events.THIS IS ONLY A DRAFT- don't use this yet.

When the Rogers Park group finalizes the starting point we will make final updates and distribute to everybody to flyer your neighborhood.

This is a sample proof: Any info missing that needs to be on the flyer? Do we have a decision of a starting point for the RP ride?

Let me know and I'll finish the flyer and get it out to local bike shops, share it with you all to distribute in your 'hood and etc...


Here is a link to a FULL SIZE flyer (much easier to read the text).

Just a last call for votes for the May 15th ride. It looks like Rogers Park wins, but we need votes to select the specific starting point. Loyola park or Warren park.
