All the women expect to be raped and the young men executed. It should be fun!

I really really support the idea, however, I live in Milwaukee, and October is pretty hit-or-miss for whether or not I want to spend lots of time outside. Usually its 'miss'. It almost seems like 'they' want it to fail. "Okay, you can have your car-free day. Oh what, nobody showed up? Too bad, we aren't ever doing that again." But since this is the closest 'Ciclovia' to me, I may just take a road trip and go there to show my support out of principal. Why October?
