a bike ride around manchester to protest oil dependency, climate change and the G8. In solidarity with anti protests in Russia
14th July 2006
Meet at Central Library at 6pm
Bring Flags, music, noisemakers, bicycles, skateboards (any human powered transport), friends ...
come- in fancy dress, in your pants, in a suit, in your birthday suit, in your jeans..whatever!
14th July has been declared a global day of action against the G8 so protests against the G8 will be taking place all over the world.
The G8's announced agenda shows power and climate change as being at the top. In Manchester we want to protest the G8 whilst showing that we already have one solution: bikes not pollution!
Last years G8 critical mass in manchester had over 160 riders..come along and make this one even bigger!
After the ride we are having a fundraising gig at Fuel in Withington to raise money for the manchester neighbourhood at the camp for climate action this summer.
The manchester neighbourhood are running a bicycle library at the camp and some of the money raised will go to help this. If you have a spare bike or spare time please get in touch:
