Agitpod is a solar-powered cinema system mounted on a quadricycle. The Agitpod has been projecting in gallery three at Arnolfini Centre for Contemporary Arts in Bristol since PLATFORM's C Words season of events opened in October and the unique machine has been much admired, but it is on the open road that this four-wheel, pedal-powered contraption really turns heads.

Preparations are under way for departure - mechanical checks, route planning and importantly - rider recruitment. A team of three riders took turns to pedal the Agitpod from London to Bristol in late September, taking three and half days for the trip. As the evenings have drawn in we need more volunteers to maximise our progress on the return journey. If you are able to join us for any part of the route - however short - please get in touch.

Our route will leave Bristol following the Bristol and Bath cycle path, we hope that a band of Bristolians will join us for a short way - perhaps as a detour on their morning cycle ride to work. Similarly, we aim to have a reception committee who will meet us on the outskirts of London and cycle with us into the big-smoke.

If you live in Bristol, London or any other town along our route we hope that you will join as as we pass through your neighbourhood. We can also offer to show films for your local campaign or community group when the 'Pod parks-up.
