Bicycle advocacy. Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on every public road, just as do all other users. Nothing more is expected. Nothing less is acceptable.

Join the Free Vehicular Cycling Advocacy Mail List
CHAINGUARD
The CHAINGUARD mail list was formed in July of 1997. The list began as a method by which concerned vehicular-cyclists could discuss the mechanics of establishing a new organization which would work exclusively on education and advocacy of vehicular cycling, and the protection of the rights of cyclists to use every road. Since that time, the list has become a general forum for issues surrounding the advocacy and practice of vehicular cycling.

The Chainguard list is for those who have moved beyond debating vehicular-cycling on our roads as compared to paving America again with separate bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Vehicular Cyclists believe that, combined with education and relatively minor enhancements, the operation of bicycles as vehicles is the only realistic and environmentally sound approach which can result in any significant amount of transportational cycling in North America.

The list is a forum for serious productive discussion and brainstorming of methods to best promote and protect vehicular cycling. The list is not a bulletin board for discussion of cycling experiences unless somehow directly related to ADVOCACY, however, this can include discussion of proper VC technique and principles.
