On Saturday, May 17th, a collection of peace-loving teachers, students, artists, bike advocates, and people like you will be gathering and biking from the Arcata Farmers’ Market to the monthly Critical Mass in San Francisco on Friday, May 30th. Bike For Peace promotes alternatives to war and fossil fuel use through the direct act of biking. We hope to spur our collective imaginations, offering ourselves as mobile street theatre and working with local communities along the route to stage bike fixing parties, teach-ins, alternative energy demonstrations and premeditated preemptive fun.

In the name of God

Dear Sir,

I , Mohsen HASHEMI am a small member of human society and also a member of Cycle Tourist Committee.

Any time I hear about a war anywhere in the world, I will become unhappy and ask myself what can I do for prevention from this mass massacre and incurring damages to children.

Having these ideas in my mince cycled from Tehran to two crisis-stricken countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 9 years ago and Afghanistan in 7 years ago. Although I cycled the whole Afghanistan with the hope of finishing quarrel and snore of warriors and making children happy. However, in Herzegovina, the frontier guards, prevented from my passage in boundary of Metkovich and my travel remained incomplete. Even UN authorities apologized me because I wasnot supported by an organization.

Gaining these experiences, I came to this conclusion that only the cooperation of different nations can be effective, so that we take steps towards peace and tranquility.

In this direction, I have a proposal which causes to take even a small step towards peace and tranquility in Israel-Palestine country.

This proposal is based on interests of groups and people and coordinating of them from all over the world who would like to finish massacre and to prevent from incurring injuries to sinless people, to ride on a bicycle or without-engine vehicles and all join together in a certain city like Cairo. After joining together, they move towards Israel-Palestine border and enter into this country with the permission and coordination of Israel-Palestine, if possible. Otherwise, this group can perform two symbolic movements. All of them go round the borders of this country or they form a human ring with a distance of a few kilometer from each other and waiting for end of the violence so that this at least causes that in future, the new generation, understand the worry of the world from massacre and to make a better tomorrow for themselves.

In the case that you agree the main subject, you are kindly requested to propose any direction or time scheduling or any comments
Also if you know groups or people who are interested in the program, please forward this letter

In writing this letter, I hope you will help me in world coordination and sympathy for execution of this proposal. Because, we need a vast coordination in order to approach success for this project.

At the end, I hope the world takes steps towards peace and tranquility.


With best regards
Mohsen HASHEMI
