[CMI-CM] Congrats & More World Car-Free Day

[Paul Riismandel]

Gosh, I  love search engines....

But first -- Congratulations everyone on the first successful CMI Critical 
Mass Ride of the new school year!  We had about 30 people for a nice ride 
around the perimeter of campus.  Lots of students seemed happy to see us 
and cheered us on with shouts and honks.

If everyone brings at least one friend to the next ride, we'll at least 
double in size.

Also, I found a few websites giving more of an explanation on World 
Car-Free Day (WCFD).  At Friday's ride we decided to hold an extra ride to 
mark this day on Thursday Sept. 21, in addition to the one scheduled for 
the last Friday in Sept, the 29th.

WCFD seems to be an Int'l thing, more centered in Europe than North 
America, which at least partially appears intended to steal some thunder 
from an EU Europe Car Free Day that takes place on the 22nd.  But that 
doesn't mean we can't turn it into an event here in C-U.  If you like, 
start thinking how we could make it here.

Take a look at these sites yourself:

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming rides, urge some friends to 
join, and spread the word by whatever means YOU think is appropriate.
