Public Service Announcement

STREETS ARE FOR PEOPLE, NOT FOR CARS
Wholesome Undie riders say "Ladies and Gentlemen, Stop Your Engines!"

On Sunday, July 18, the fifth annual Wholesome Undie ride will take to the streets of Vancouver.

When:	12:00 Noon, Sunday, July 18, 2004
Where:	Vancouver Art Gallery (Georgia Street Side)

Slower, sexier, and smarter than the Molson Indy ­­ the Wholesome Undie has all the thrills of Vancouver's loudest corporate spectacle, but it features riders on bicycles... dressed in their underwear!

The Wholesome Undie will begin with a Briefing at the Art Gallery, after which the crack team of Undie Riders will roll through the street of downtown Vancouver. The ride will occupy the roadway, not blocking traffic, because WE ARE TRAFFIC.

Undie Racers will re-claim the streets with their elegant, inexpensive, human-powered vehicles. Instead of the roar of combustion engines, they will serenade the city with ringing bells, songs and raps, and the whisper of fine lingerie. The Undie won't cause any pollution, since Undie racers emit only natural gas. Undie vehicles don't go as fast, but they go in style.

This year's Wholesome Undie ride is hot on the heels of the over 750 strong June 25 2004 Wheels Critical Mass Ride.
