 >>>if it is not really wet out: who wants to
RIDE AROUND IN THE SKELETON COSTUMES?

-11 pre-made skeleton costumes that we used last year at the parade of lost 
souls:
-some ideas behind this ride are:
-to entertain and subliminally instruct families and kids
-to bring out all the dead cyclists to ride on the roads where they died, 
and also
-to bring out the dead in all of us! ah ha haaaaaaa
-rsvp directly to redsara and lee if you are intruiged, interested or want 
to reserve a costume...

details to be discussed. honour thy dead.

VELOLOVE EMAIL LIST IS BACK
          finally
          at the new domain of lists.velolove.bc.ca,
      the velolove email list is now two lists:

          discuss at lists.velolove.bc.ca
http://lists.velolove.bc.ca/mailman/listinfo/discuss
                 &
         announce at lists.velolove.bc.ca
http://lists.velolove.bc.ca/mailman/listinfo/announce

the DISCUSS list is the same as old velolove list, with all the subscribers 
that were on the original list. the ANNOUNCE list is an announcements only 
list that includes everyone on the discuss list along with others who only 
want to receive announcements.

and we are not just limited to two lists. there can be more lists at 
lists.velolove.bc.ca -- each with it's own list managers or moderators, and 
each with its own access moderation/management password. so if victoria, 
prince george, or any other locations in bc would like a bike or critical 
mass related email list, or other like minded collectives/groups would like 
a list, just send an email to vancouver at velolove.bc.ca! there's no fee to 
setup or have a list, but you would need to manage your own lists. we look 
forward to your participation. viva la velorution!
