We are a friendly fun group of keen cyclists who ride the streets for climate activism. We go S-L-O-W and rides are open to all ages. Rides are last Saturday morning of every month from 10am-12pm. We ride on Woiwurrung land. Stolen land. We need TREATY!!!
Our very own Sam did something very brave on Sunday: he climbed down Princes bridge to get his message heard. We are in a climate emergency, and need emergency action now ! If you have ever come to a bike ride with us, you would have seen Sam: he usually provides the tunes! Well done
Some photos and videos of the Critical Mass last Friday! How amazing was that?? Over 250 people joined
While it was an overall very joyful event, we spend a solemn moment in front of VicRoads, where we installed a ghost bike. On this ghost bike, we attached 5 padlocks, in memory of the 5 cyclists killed in Victoria this year.
You can listen to the fantastic speeches by Tom Taylor, Dr John Stone and Violet CoCo – The Activist here: https://fb.watch/kRpEyFOSnF/
