ROLLIN' LIGHTNIN' : NOV. 3 : VISIBLE FROM SPACE
October 24, 2008 |
On Sunday, November 2nd, we fall back to Pacific Standard Time. On Monday, November 3rd, cyclists will commute home in the dark.
With that in mind, Cordarounds, maker of bike-to-work pants, is proud to present a cycling awareness event unlike any other -- one with the modest goal of being visible from the International Space Station.
At 6:00, participants will ride from the Embarcadero's gigantic bow and arrow to the Gestalthaus in the Mission , illuminating the streets with all manner of reflective and light-emitting commuter gadgetry.
Leading minds in lighting -- Timbuk2 reflective bag designers, MonkeyLectric LED wheel makers, Instructables craftsmen, and Rock the Bike rappers -- will be on hand to bedeck your bike and body with their brilliant inventions. In addition, my friend needs to unload about 4,000 glow sticks left over from Burning Man, so one lucky rider will be able to travel through town as a phosphorescent mummy.
Whether you're a daily bike commuter or someone who wants to learn more about urban cycling, please meet us after the night ride at Gestalthaus -- where the bier will flow like sauerkraut and vice versa.
Final plans for Rollin' Lightnin' are still in the works. Exciting mid-route pit stops have yet to be named, and the identity of the Grand Marshal remains a scintillating mystery. So visit cordarounds.com and follow the drama as we count down to the start of this historic civic event. And remember: your ideas, well wishes, and suggestions are always welcome.
