OPEN!

I want to thank everyone who came out and showed their support yesterday, and I also want to say a quick note to everyone who stopped by during construction of the monument on Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Just the fact that you all walked by, stopped with your kids, asked questions and made comments really rocked my socks off! Also, thank you to John Greenfield
who writes votewithyourfeetchicago.blogspot.com, I feel so lucky to have a chance to explain my thoughts.

On May 20, 2009, at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways.
