I'd be delighted to be a warm body in a courtroom when needed, but I just don't have what it takes to be an organizer.

Some of us here must, though. Some of us already are.
I agree totally. We need a movement, until then we are moving targets and have to leave for our ride knowing we may not make it back! I think cyclists have always known that, and that's what makes us a unique group of people. We'd rather take our chances to be free and enjoy this beautiful planet by experiencing it physically through sight, sound, sweat, and the agony of defeat. However, we will not let the fear of getting hit by a car, keep us off the road.

I don't have the time to organize and probably not the time to sit in the court room either. I'm taking time off the get my bachelors in engineering so I barely have time to get in 3-4 hours of sleep some nights. I just have to hope that there are people out there that have the time to start a movement. Hopefully I'll be one of them after I'm all set with my engineering degree and am able to participate.
