Show that the world is not blind to this blatant abuse of human rights, not to mention the equal rights to use public streets. Tell New York City officials and police that the world does not accept this kind of behavior.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Last Friday, August 26, almost 50 bicyclists were arrested while
trying to participate in New York City's monthly Critical Mass bike
ride. Over the past year, almost 600 cyclists have been arrested in
New York. Truckloads of bikes have been confiscated, many cut from
their locks while their owners stand by helplessly.

You can show that the world is not blind to this blatant abuse of
human rights, not to mention the equal rights to use public streets.
Tell New York City officials and police that the world does not
accept this kind of behavior.

Go to <http://www.worldcarfree.net/nyc> and send a letter to the
mayor and police commissioner of New York. The more letters they
receive, the better. Please follow the instructions for sending
letters (and send us a note so we know how many letters have been
sent and from where).

Defend cyclists rights now!
