Ride of Silence on May 15, 2013, Pittsburgh
- Ride of Silence riders: 1. We have a 30% probability of thunderstorms tomorrow evening. I'll be there regardless. If it is safe to ride, we will ride. We may delay the start or shorten the ride if that makes sense. If the ride gets totally washed out, we will likely schedule a second ride at a later date. However. Let's assume we will be riding tomorrow night. If it is important, let's do it. Qualified by apply common sense if conditions seem unsafe to you. Rain is safe to ride in, we will avoid lighting. It is 70% unlikely a storm will hit at a bad time for us, so let's plan for that, and only change if actual conditions warrant.
- 2. At the bottom of this email we list of the victims of accidents while bicycling.
- 3. We didn't get an armband volunteer so you are mostly on your own for armbands. I have about 50 black armbands and 10 red ones recycled from previous years. If you are passionate, make your own. If you feel lucky, see if you get one of mine. A ride to honor, mourn, raise awareness, demonstrate safe riding, and show our strength
- The Ride of Silence honors people injured or killed while riding bikes.
- Ride of Silence Details Wednesday, May 15th 6:15-6:45pm: Gather for the ride at the dinosaur (corner of Forbes and Schenley Dr) at the museum in Oakland. Sign a waiver only to invoke liability insurance for the event (required by the national and local organizers). 6:45pm: Listen to stories from victims and their families about why this movement for safe streets is important. (Thanks to Bike Pittsburgh for arranging this) 7pm: Ride of Silence begins. The route will be a slow and easy 10 miles winding through the East End of Pittsburgh, rolling by several c crash sites to honor the victims, as well as passing several mayoral candidate offices. Between 8pm and 8:30pm the ride will conclude. Start location: Schenley Plaza in Oakland - at Dippy the Dinosaur Route:
- How We Ride in Pittsburgh Double file, side by side, keeping to a single lane, and to the right of the yellow line where it exists. Stop and wait at all red lights - we're a big group and will undoubtedly be breaking up and regrouping as we go along. If there is slower traffic in the lane, we'll just wait for it. Please bring bikes in good repair, as there will be no official mechanical support or transportation. Children aged 12 and under must have helmets on. This ride takes place on city streets, with potholes, surface hazards, motor vehicles and other cyclists riding in close proximity. Participants must use their own judgment and be responsible for their own safety. If at any time, you feel that you can no longer participate safely, please pull off the route and wait until the rest of the ride has passed. History and Expectations . On the third Wednesday of May around the world, bicyclists will take to the roads in a silent protest of the carnage taking place on the streets . Chris Phelan organized the first Ride Of Silence in Dallas in 2003 after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was killed by a passing bus mirror on an empty road .
- The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its riders to ride at a slow pace and remain silent during the ride . The ride hopes to raise bicycling awareness during bike month to motorists, police, traffic engineers, insurance companies, and city officials. The ride is also a chance to honor and mourn, in funeral procession style, those who have already been killed and injured . The ride requests black arm bands be worn, red only if you have had a bike/motor vehicle crash. Helmets required; lights are mandatory for the ride home. There are no fees charged anyone to participate. Pittsburgh Ride of Silence Contact for 2013: Jim Logan jimlogan@verizon.net <mailto:%20jimlogan@verizon.net> <mailto:lwseaman@hotmail.com>

And, this request for help:
Hi All
We are still working to distribute campaign literature to independent households throughout the 42nd district. The literature consists of two or three pieces in a clear plastic door hanger bag. We have lists of streets as well as a map print out of the vicinity. Since we are targeting only households with registered independents, it works best with two person teams where one drives while the second runs to the house and hangs the bag on the door handle. We are not attempting to engage the residents in conversation, but simply hang the literature and move on. I've found that I can do about 40 to 50 drops per hour, but we have 5000 total!
If you can give up one, two or even three hours to support the cause, please email me back and let me know. Our target neighborhoods will be Mount Lebanon, Scott Township, Rosslyn Farms, Green Tree and some of Bethel Park. Don't hesitate to bring along extra bodies if you know anyone who would like to help.
We will be working from 9 AM to 3 PM on both Saturday (4 May) and Sunday (5 May). Meet at my house (11 Mount Lebanon Blvd. 15228) any time. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
As always, thanks in advance for your support!

Fwd: Great Post
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Susan Vento
Date: Thursday, May 2, 2013
Subject: Great Post
To: mark@rauterkus.com
Hi Mark,
My name is Susan Vento, and I am writing to you about a cause very close to my heart. My husband, Bruce, was a Democratic member of the US House of Representatives until October 10th, 2000 when he died of pleural mesothelioma––a rare disease caused by asbestos exposure. Recently, asbestos companies are using their political influence to push a new bill in Congress, led by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). It is called the "Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act." In short, this bill would delay and, in some cases, deny justice to people suffering from asbestos-related diseases. The FACT Act marks the beginning of a state-by-state strategy to dismantle the rights of victims. We must take action to protect these victims before it's too late, like it was for my husband.
In the name of so-called "transparency," the bill places burdensome reporting requirements on victims applying to the bankruptcy trusts. Yet, the companies who knowingly caused the asbestos exposure have no comparable requirements. The legislation is a one-sided and unfair effort designed to harm those who have already been injured. You can find more information on the bill here. This legislation is not an effort to make the legal system more responsive. Instead, it is merely the latest attempt by companies and individuals like the Koch brothers to avoid responsibility for their wrongdoings.
Because of your influence and experience in the political blogosphere, I am asking for your help. I am a spokesperson for the Asbestos Cancer Victims' Rights Campaign. The ACVRC is a national campaign dedicated to protecting the rights and privacy of cancer victims and their families. I hope that you will join our fight to defeat this unfair legislation and the potential precedent it sets. Here are a couple simple steps you can take to make a difference:
1. Sign the petition to stop legislation that threatens cancer victims!
Go to www.CancerVictimsRights.org/take-action/sign-the-petition/ and follow the instructions to sign the petition at the bottom of the page.
2. Spread the word!
Share your thoughts on the bill and our cause with your blog audience. Place a link to our petition on your blog to allow your readers to sign and showcase their public support––every signature matters!
Thank you in advance for your time. Individuals and families affected by cancer already have enough on their plate. With your help, the ACVRC is committed to fighting legislation that further burdens them.
Best,
Susan
