And there's humor in that. I think Fred is onto something. Bicycle Fred's optimism was re-enforced by the turnout for Nader's October 1 super rally in Boston. They're not going to go home and crawl in a hole. He was cheered on during his three-hour ride by construction workers and by Suits sipping cappucinnos at Starbucks, by the man in the limo and by ordinary pedstrians.
Most people stay close to the pack.
Fred's willing to stand alone. People were cheering him as he went by. It was a way to get the message out without polluting the environment or spending a lot of money. Bicycle Fred intends to keep on pedaling until election day. And, he envisions legions of Greens bicycling for Nader in their hometowns as the election approaches.
