A school district superintendent and a non-profit board member plan to ride their bicycles from Mountain View, California to Sacramento to protest proposed budget cuts to education.
Mountain View-Whisman district superintendent Maurice Ghysels will ride with Bruce Barsi to deliver a personal message to the governor to protest what they say are nearly a half million dollars in buddget cuts for the district.

If they decorate the bicycles appropriately, it's a great way to be visible for an extended period of time and distance. (googling "bicycle protest" for images is fun, tho' mostly it's nekkid people.)
