On their tour, the Bicycologists will be giving free bike maintainence workshops, holding Dr Bike sessions - come and get your bike fine-tuned - organising bike games and playing around with some crazy tall wobbly bikes; there will also be information and examples of alternative forms of energy, including some pedal-powered gadgets.

We'll also be bringing along our trusted portable sound-sytem - Pedals. Pedals will soon be celebrating her first birthday, and she'll be celebrating a lot en route - helping us send out a loud and clear message about bikes.

Bicycology is a collective formed by riderswho wanted to build on their shared experience of the 2005 G8 Bike Ride and organise future events of a similar nature.

By focusing on cycling we aim to persue our vision of a just and sustainable world through a combination of education, entertainment and creative direct action. The collective was formed during a weekend meeting at the Sumac Centre in November 2005 with 15 original members
