This is a peaceful, anti-war ride. In this spirit, the tone of the ride is non-violent. Our attitude will be one of openness and respect toward all people, places and things we encounter on our bike ride. We will use no violence, verbal or physical toward any living being. We will not destroy or damage any property. We will respect traffic laws and signs as is deemed safe for the ride by ride leaders and participants. Not one more death, not one more dollar. Join us as we cycle against oil wars.
