Hi

Gerald kindly posted the Jubilee Rickshaw Freedom Riders site on the links page (www.wfinger.demon.co.uk/rickshaw (http://www.wfinger.demon.co.uk/rickshaw)) - so I wonder if some of you would be interested in using your rickshaws to fight global poverty?

This year, the G8 Summit is meeting in Scotland and I'm trying to get as many cyclists as possible to pedal to Edinburgh to join a peaceful protest on 2nd July against global injustice. A team of us will be taking my Indian rickshaw from London to Edinburgh and I'd be delighted if any of you wanted to join us - or maybe set up your own trip. Rickshaw touring is great fun, and travelling from Leeds to Genoa over the Alps in 2001 was the most exciting thing I've ever done (so far!).

If you want to find out more, go to www.leedstidal.org/g8rides (http://www.leedstidal.org/g8rides) and post a message on the Messageboard.

It would be great to have a return visit from some of you Italians ;)

Happy pedalling

Bill
