Bicyclists: Your chance for 15 minutes of fame
Any of you road cyclists or mountain bikers wanna get some TV face time and be famous?
Thought so. You hams.
The Bicycle Coalition of Maine is putting out the call to any and all bicyclists who can volunteer this Wednesday, May 3rd (rain date on Monday, May 8th) from approximately 9:00 AM until early afternoon in Portland to help the BCM film their new Share The Road public service spots.
Per the esteemed Petey at BCM:
WCSH-TV 6 is producing the new spots and we need an assortment of riders! This is in support of our "Share The Road" media campaign. No guarantees about showing your mugs in the spots, but you will have as good a chance as anyone else being filmed. The project is focused on four specific populations (young drivers, parents, senior citizens and immigrants) and we are hoping to enlist the help of people who fit into those categories (although anyone can show up and join us). We need all kinds of cyclists, on all kinds of bikes, with all kinds of looks. If you can free yourself up, please consider joining us.
There you have it!
If you're interested give Pete at BCM a call at 623-4511.
