Local organizers for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and for Commissioner Sam Adams’ mayoral campaign will take to the streets by bike tomorrow.

According to Tyler Wardwell, one of Obama’s field organizers in Multnomah County, Obama supporters will meet up at their campaign headquarters in Southeast Portland and set out into the neighborhood for “some green grassroots organizing — biking door-to-door, registering voters and sharing our stories of why we support Barack.”

He says everyone is encouraged to join them and that after their bike-canvassing efforts the group will ride together to the Earth Day festivities at Overlook Park.

Supporters of Sam Adams will also use pedal-power to deliver yards signs and chat with Portlanders on Sunday. Adams plans to show up at his campaign headquarters for a meet-and-greet session prior to the ride.

Here are details of both events:

Wouldn’t it be neat if the Adams and Obama camps met up somewhere along the route?
