Ye Friday:

         Thee ten and twenty days of May {May 30th},

as we here know it to be the last Friday of the month, shall be it. So then 
it shall be a Pirate Critical Mass. We Ride for one and all to join in or 
walk the plank! (Don't drive a car there!)
                                                 Arrrr....

         We shall meet at the Vancouver Art Gallery,

...Downtown, between the mighty lions and where the water spills from the 
earth on the Georgia Street side. We shall parley there

       around 5:00 to 5:30 p.m., Pacific seaboard time,

But I reckon we won't be leavin' until 6:00 p.m. that eve. We'll be ridin' 
to the Cape of Good Pedalling, with our bounty of safe and comfortable 
cycling, where Car-Free Island will be freed at last.

      Come as ye will, festooned in pirate gear for all to see. Bring flute 
or drum or any noisey thing you can carry to inspire the imagination. Not 
just bicycles but all those who sail under their own wind are welcome, be 
that skateboards, wheelchairs, rollerskates, or as it may. We set out rain 
or shine so ye best come prepared!

      Yo Ho Ho Ye Cycling Pirates! 'Tis Bike Month a Comin' an' to kick off 
Bike Month we good pirates will be ridin' the streets of Vancouver!

          Ye Vast, We Don't Block Traffick
                   For, We ARRRRRRR Traffick!!!
