SUMMARY:From Highway Hell\, To Bicycle Bliss -- RIDE #6: MLK JR. BLVD
CONTACT:veggies
DESCRIPTION:Ride leader is running late due to bike trouble -- will be 
 there at 12:55!\nRIDE #6: MLK JR. BLVD\nWoodlawn City Park to Oregon 
 Convention Center\, no pause - 3.4 miles\, no loop.\n\nUPDATE: If 
 participants are willing\, this ride might extend an extra mile to finish 
 the road more completely and go through central east side. The ending 
 point would be at the east side of the Tilikum Bridge.\n\nOur city is 
 lacerated by multi-lane highways and stroads that are hostile to human 
 life and subservient to mass automobility. These rides aim to prefigure 
 what these wretched roadways should become -- long\, straight\, safe 
 courses for human-powered transit! We claim these roads for 
 bicycling!\n\nThese rides will take the entire rightmost travel lane\, and
  potentially more\, depending on size -- the more people show up to ride 
 together\, the less individual bravery any one person needs to bring. Due 
 to the current unsafety of these roads\, these rides are not particularly 
 recommended for younger children. The goal is to consistently move at ~12 
 mph\, though we'll maintain whatever pace we need to stay together. The 
 ride leader is an experienced road rider and will ride in the back as 
 caboose/sweep with a brightly visible trailer. Snacks\, waters\, first aid
  kit\, and bike tools will be on hand. We will follow road laws\, but will
  prioritize staying together as a group\, so corking would be welcome if 
 the group size justifies it.\n\nThis is a series of six rides on 
 "unfriendly" roads -- demanding by action that no city streets should be 
 unfriendly to people outside of cars!\n\nJune 29\, 3:00pm - 11th/12th-
 Milwaukie\nJuly 6\, 5:00pm - Cesar Chavez\nJuly 12\, 11:00am - Sandy\nJuly
  20\, 2:00pm - 82nd\nJuly 27\, 10:00am - Powell\nAugust 3\, 1:00pm - MLK 
 Jr.\nQuick safety chat at 1:00pm\, ride shortly thereafter.\nEnds at
