Aside from the having two wheels, pets, and fund raising in common, I think from a logistical and staffing point of view it would be difficult to manage the two vehicle types at the same time because of the speeds and distances involved. Also consider the different routes and roadways that each is respectfully privileged to and prohibited from using. Not to mention the slightly different cultural views and self-pride that each rider has in their vehicles of choice.I would recommend two separate events purely from an organizational point of view.The only event I can think of that the two would easily participate in is a pet parade wherein a pet will ride or walk with a biker or cyclist. Or have the riders dress up as an animal of choice.DJ

At 1st I thought it would be possible but as I sat listening to their plans for their motorcycle themed fundraiser, I was having more & more trouble figuring out a way to incorporate the 2 types of transportation. Has anyone ever seen a fundraiser that successfully incorporates bicycles & motorcycles? Otherwise, would anyone have any ideas on how maybe DCHS could do this successfully? I figure they may just have to have 2 completely different events because, in my mind, both themes may attract completely different people to them & I'm not sure how well they'd mesh together, etc. Aaron Join me in my efforts to support AIDS Network by making a donation to my ACT 9 bicycle ride in August, the Wisconsin AIDS Ride!
