Bike workshop. Fork it over!We need your help to find Time's Up! a permanent home! Our old indoor space at 49 E. Houston Street was recently sold and we are currently holding our bike repair workshops in a temporary space. Time's Up! is actively searching for a new permanent space that will allow us to continue our indoor meetings and educational events. Having a permanent Time's Up! space is essential in plugging people into these events and making a difference in the community.

If you'd like to help, our Space Committee meets every second Monday of the month at 7pm at 156 Rivington St--join us!! Or, if you have any ideas or leads, email:  timesupspace@gmail.com.

Keep on top of the Legal Newswire to see the latest in the city's attempts to censor TIME'S UP! (and those "acting in concert") from publicizing Critical Mass, or any gathering of 20 or more people in a city park, and another attempt to get an injunction against the ride.

It is our hope that Critical Mass, and all group bike rides, can return to the safe, harmonious and fun rides that they once were in New York City. In order to do our part in trying to make that happen, we suggest the following:
Bicycles are traffic, and as such they have the same right to be on the road -- and travel at their own speed -- as other road users. We believe it follows that bicyclists also have the same responsibility as other road users to comply with the traffic laws, including observing such basic requirements as one-way street restrictions and traffic lights.
