How did the bike ride go?
hopefully well, any photos?
it was crap
Actually print off some fliers (don't just put them up here on indymedia), and flypost them around the city.
Maybe someone in Shell to Sea could get some stickers like they have , and could stick them on the bike racks around town and even further afield.
Leaflet cyclists at traffic lights.
Set up a webspace on Bebo or somewhere and send out friend requests to every email address you can find.
Ring up the radio talk stations and complain about critical mass blocking the traffic, then call up and defend the bike ride. This works with writing to newspapers as well, don't forget Northside people and the Herald etc. Get politicians to complain - get other ones to take part.
Send out a Press release that you've hired Katy French to do a photoshoot to for publicity. Then tell the press that your "commitee" has prohibited it because it's sexist- generate some publicity for free (she won't mind, soome controversy will help her career).
Spread the rumour that the next critical mass will be a nude bike ride like the one they did in London.
Take a day off work and do nothing except work on publicising CM. Just one day could make all the difference.
All easy for me to suggest, but not that hard surely?
Yep - all easy for you to suggest - yet will you go and do any of it yourself.
why not do it YOURSELVES, come away from the virtual imc world, meet in the real world, call a time to meet up, inform others so they might come to, commit to it, work on it, print, get word out, and make it huge....
remember there were 30,000 in budapest a few years agol 2005:

london naked bike ride
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/06/373139.html
In 2004 there were 58 riders, in 2005 a creditable 250 riders, rising to a massive 800 in 2006.
I used to go to the critical masses which were good until they peaked around 2003-2004 when they were piggybacked by Reclaim/Repaint the streets/DGN. I think this was a mistake as it turned CM into a march as opposed to a ride and that pissed off myself and a lot of cyclists as we were more or less sidelined by marchers.
Dunk please dont lecture people about organising in the real world and getting off the internet. Every one of your posts seems to consist of links to other sites and no actual ideas or suggestions of your own, which actually alienates people from ever responding to anything you post.
Any chance of getting this back together?
