Sign in Now – Green Streets Day NEXT Friday, Dec 25!

Green Streeters - and Portland Bike Commuter Meetup members - John Brooking and Ian Riddell pause in downtown Portland, all lit up for the holidays
So here’s the crazy thing – Green Streets Day this December falls on Christmas Day – next Friday the 25th – and people keep asking if we’re still planning on doing it. The answer is you bet! And not just because some of us are celebrating Solstice or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa or another lovely holiday besides Christmas in this season of light amidst dark.
But because even if it’s Christmas at your house – or maybe even especially BECAUSE it’s Christmas – what a wonderful time to take it slow and walk or bike or carpool or use public transit (except local buses that aren’t running that day
).
So no matter what you’re up to next Friday on the 25th – even if it’s just enjoying a day at home without having to get out at all – please sign in now (click here) if you won’t be getting into a car by yourself that day. And being on vacation and/or traveling still counts, too!
And this holiday season we would love to post photos of you and your friends and/or family if you head out for a holiday stroll – so please e-mail us your photos at PortlandGreenStreets@yahoo.com!

On Green Streets Day I will be renting a car (lower mpg than my Camery) to travel to Fredrickton NB for three days of Christmas with my wife’s mother. We thought of car pooling with a family from Scarborugh going to Holten. They were already using two cars for 9 people. We will take LOOOONG walks on the wonderful 75 miles of bike walk paths through and around Fredrickton, original promoter of the Trans Canada Trail.
