Have you ever
had someone drive too close to you?
had someone give you the third finger salute?
had a friend hit ?
been hit yourself?
Lots of motorists dislike cyclists for blocking their roads, not stopping at stop signs etc, These motorists lump all cyclists together and when they see a tail light or a bobbing spandex derriere, their hackles rise. CRROWSS is an attempt to let the public know there are cyclists and commuter riders. Vivi la difference!
CCROWSS are bike riders who use their bikes for transportation rather than for sport..We are very conscious of our relationship to automobiles, buses and motorcyclists. No matter what the law says, the petroleum powered machines rule the road.
The CCROWSS creed says:
We don't block roads.
We use two wheels to get places we need to go.
We transport items:kids, surfboards, groceries, pets, books etc.
We are proud of the fact that we don't require petroleum.
We don't damage roadbeds.
We don't take up parking spaces.
Our contribution to air quality is noteworthy.
We weave the threads of community fabric
by occasionally stopping and talking to the folks we meet.
What does NOT work?
After all, no one of us is as strong as ALL of us.

"Bobbing Spandex Derriere" is the best thing I've read all year!
