Twitter-bot Brief

Make a twitter-bot that encourages people to bicycle or walk rather than drive. Think about your bot — who/what is it? Does it have a personality? Leverage humor. Focus on persuasive language. Optionally use images.

If you don’t have programming experience, use Cheap Bots, Done Quick. You can build a poetic, imaginative bot by making rules that create a variety of tweets which it will tweet out randomly.
