Drive twice a week Weds. and Fri.s. I pray that motorists will give me room on the road while passing especially along LaRoche Ave. Hopefully,"Dump the Pump" will bring out more bicycles and it will bring out more safety awareness from motorists!

Many of us do that everyday. REAL "Dump-the-Pumpers" consider real alternative forms of transport <just for kicks.

Here goes: * 3 wheel scooter cars * skateboards * rollerblades * unicycles * horses * horse carriages * big trike (like the 10 foot front wheel variety popular say 100 years ago) * seques * trolleys * feet (of course!) * scooters * motorcycles, lot’s of ‘em * whacky bikes * buses * bicycles- triathalon, road bikes, mountain bikes, beach bikes and “beaters” * pedicabs * boats- very, very, very big to very small, fast, slow, etc * trains * golf carts * electric skateboards * go karts * motorized bikes * pedal-powered cars * trikes * motor coaches * RV’s (stolen with pride from: http://www.thecreativecoast.org/why/transportation ) Yeah, yeah, yeah….. of course we are going to ride our bikes.
