Anti-War Busycle Ride on 7th Anniversary of Iraq Invasion

by E.W.
While some of the San Francisco Peninsula based Raging Grannies ventured beyond their home base to San Jose or San Francisco for anti-war rallies, a half dozen stayed closer to home. They rode the busycle through Palo Alto residential streets with anti-war signs.

The busycle is driven by human power.

The Grannies' signs read:
Break the cycle of dependence on oil * Ride the Busycle!

End the War

No Blood for Oil!

Unfortunately, these cute beagles don't have long enough legs to help power the busycle. Everyone who rides needs to pedal!

Yoriko, former mayor of Palo Alto, came by to say hello. She is running for the State Assembly and is probably the most pro-bike candidate Palo Alto has ever had.
