-"This is a fun way to show that we are tired of being oil dependant, and for one day not use our cars."  says Nelson WNBR coordinator, Eva Brauwn.  "It's a fact that hundreds of thousands of people are killed by cars every year, and it's killing the planet we live on.  Not to mention that gasoline is becoming unaffordable.  By participating in this event, we are joining the masses worldwide who are standing up and letting it be known that the people are paying attention, and we demand change."

 Riders will be taking off no later than 12 noon at Iode Park between Gerick Cycles & Sport and Sidewinders cafe, slow riding together down Baker street, turning right onto Ward Street and following 3A down to Lakeside Park where they'll re-convene.

+Exhaust fumes cause acid air, pollution, cancer, lead-poisoning and a variety of bronchial and respiratory illnesses. The average car emits a cocktail of more than 1,000 pollutants including:
 * Tetraethyl Lead
 * Benzene (No safe level of airborne benzene can be recommended, as benzene is carcinogenic to humans and there is no known safe threshold level)

 * Sulfurous Emissions: cause soil and water acidification, damage to plants (especially trees, mosses and certain lichens), and smog.
---The Institute for European Environmental Policy has published a report showing that car drivers breathe in up to three times more toxic exhaust fumes than pedestrians or cyclists. Cars do not protect drivers from pollution, as motorists are driving in a "tunnel of pollution." Car drivers in the centre or outside lanes are subject to a huge buildup of toxic gases. Cyclists and pedestrians who stay close to the curb avoid the worst of the pollution as they are not in the pollution tunnel.

---The Swedish National Chemicals Inspectorate has reported that wear and tear on car tyres releases tiny airborne particles called PM10s, which may cause cancer. Car tyres are the main source of PM10 pollutants, which have also been linked to 10,000 premature deaths in Britain each year from lung and heart disease.
