Thanks to everyone who came out to the Bike Mob. While it wasn't the numbers we were looking for, we did what we set out to do safely and with class.
Also, a pretty huge deal was made of it and we got a lot of media coverage. It ranged from the downright irresponsible to the heart-warming. Thanks to the police, random helicopters and reporters for coming out and paying attention. It really wasn't necessary, but I guess some people (reporter, Frank Seravalli) threw around terms like "attack" and "cause havoc," so you had to react accordingly. We'll have more numbers and same positive spirit if we decide to do this again for game 6.

TODAY IS THE DAY
Check the posts below for the details. Let's keep this classy and do it right. We'll show the world Philly's true colors - orange and black as we ride along with the Blackhawks bus.
Also, we got picked up by FOX 29!!!!!
There are people out there that have a certain bias against Philly fans thinking that we can't cheer/or jeer without things getting out of control. Let's prove them wrong and show this town that we can make our presence felt by biking along with the bus with numbers. This should be a lot of fun, so if you're not in it for fun and for the good of the Flyers/Philadelphia, please stay away. If you want to have a good time, meet fellow Flyers fans/cyclists and escort the Blackhawks to the second of four losses, then come on out!
LET'S BE LEGENDS and LET's GO FLYERS!

FRIDAY!!!! IT'S ON!!!!!!!!!
We will meet at 5pm on Friday at the corner of 19th and the Benjamin Frankin Parkway in Logan Circle on our bikes, wearing orange. The Blackhawks bus is scheduled to leave the Four Seasons Hotel at around 5:25 at which point, we'll follow the bus on our bikes, and escort it down to the Wachovia Center in a sea of orange. Everywhere they look, they will see Flyers fans on bikes reminding them of how great it's going to be when they CHOKE! GO FLYERS!!!
