I arranged a mini Kidical mass ride from Brentford to Turnham Green on Sunday for Hounslow Cycle Campaigns Earth Day Picnic. At the event I spoke to every family who had made there way there by bike. There was resounding support for CS9, but a genuine concern that it won't happen, that it will get kicked into the long grass by this very vocal minority.
I'm not sure a vigil outside would be a good idea given this Lesniak's volatile reputation, but maybe a regular mass ride along the route, stopping for a picnic next to his garden plaque ;-).
I also met @shafrandeli - great guy who spent time living in the Netherlands. And who totally gets the economic benefit CS9 can bring to local business. However, he was also worried though about it getting out he is pro CS9, worried about potential fallout, and that it would (at least in the short term), affect custom.
