ride to vote

October 29, 2008 - 6:18pm -- bobs

I just got a tickler from the motorcycle folks, encouraging me to ride to my polling place next week, park in a visible location out front, wear my riding gear as I wait in line, etc. - all that positive community visibility stuff. I think I'll ride my bicycle instead, in hopes of accomplishing all the same advocacy goals. Who's with me?

I am less than a block from my polling place, but I am in! You can count in my single speed folding bike to be pimped in front of the fire department! ^_^

After waiting in line for 4 hours a few years ago to vote - I'm now permanent absentee - ran (literally) my ballot down to the post office last week! Driving it there would be unpatriotic ;)

I'm permanent absentee, but also a permanent procrastinator. So I always hand-deliver my absentee ballot to a polling place on election day. I usually arrive by bike, and I don't have to wait in line.

Rolled up to the elementary school on an old Schwinn tandem with my cutie to drop off our mail-in ballots! All the 1st-graders in the classroom through the next open door were waaay distracted. : )

I'd post a picture here if I could...
