Critical morals

Possibilities are endless. Our limits are only those that we accept and place upon ourselves. And when we focus on our similarities instead of our differences it's pretty amazing what we can accomplish. I learned that at this evening's Critical Mass.

"I'm so happy to be in San Francisco! This seems like the home stretch," one rider told me who is currently passing through the City on his bike to Tijuana. He started in Vancouver.

"Make sure to bring mace. That's something I wish I had when I ran into some trouble," another warned. "There are people out there that just don't like cyclists." I was planning on packing a small serrated knife that D recently gifted me but now might have second thoughts. "Buy a cheap radio and some speakers. Those really helped too."

Unfortunately I wasn't able to recruit any massers for the ride. But I did mention that I would pass along any messages to the President when I get to the White House. If you also believe that the climate must be a top priority and have a message or personal experience to share about climate change, please, pass it along to message4obama(at)gmail(dot)com.

Training tomorrow morning. Then Oskar will see Ricky Henderson's #24 retirement. Tuesday evening's event at the World Affairs Council Auditorium should be stimulating.
