One Million Bicycles, the ambitious event that plans to hold 100 bike rallies in 50 states and recycle and donate 1 million bikes by August 2009, is rolling full steam ahead.
Organizer and author/activist Joe “Metal Cowboy” Kurmaskie is assembling his staff, registration is now open at OneMillionBicycles.org and a kick-off video has just been released (watch it below).
Kurmaskie says he’s already gotten responses from as far away as Nova Scotia and the Bahamas, “and groups are coming together for rallies in Maine, Connecticut, and New York City to just name a few!”
For more information on the One Million Bicycles campaign/event, read the full story on BikePortland.org.
Here’s the kick-off video featuring Joe Kurmaskie and put together by Dan Kaufman of CrankMyChain.
Register, spread the word, and get involved.
This event has the potential to make a powerful and positive statement about bicycles in America. Like Joe says, “This is the Woodstock of the bicycle world.”
