BikeSummer

BikeSummer 2003 took place in New York City. It was
organized by TIME'S UP! and many other groups, local and
otherwise, worked to make it a smashing success.
We've got an entire website devoted to it:

BikeSummer 1999 in San Francisco
In 1999, TIMES UP! brought our
New York style of activism to San Francisco with
a full night of multimedia presentations, discussing strategies for
implementing Critical Mass-type events in a hostile environment such
as New York, and showed video footage of TIMES UP! activist events.
Some of presentations included:
- a Reclaim the Streets photography show;
- the Pedestrian Uprising photography show, by Peter Meitzler;
- a discussion of the stencil memorial ride, the New York Critical Mass, and Reclaim the Street activities;
- a discussion of the Green Apple Map and the global Green Map System by director Wendy Brawer (green maps for San Francisco and Berkeley have been completed). Check out their web site (GreenAppleMap.org) for more information on this interesting project;
- a video of our work on bike activist issues in New York City, including the Critical Mass, stencil ride, and community gardens.
At the end of the presentation, TIMES UP! went out onto the
streets, and along with the many attendees of BikeSummer, did a
memorial to slain cyclist Casey Moe.
