Who we are.

With the love of bikes and the dedication to make a positive change on this planet, we have come together to build this network of cyclists. Whether with your lycra gear or your second hand tandem adorned with flowers, this network can be a space for all of us. 

The hope of seeing politicians and big business take appropriate action to protect our planet and its earthlings is getting bleaker by the minute.

But we don’t need to rely on those in power. Again and again it has been proven that when the people unite and fight, change happens. Fracking did not get rejected in Lancashire by the will of those in power, neither was the right to vote given to women in the UK - it was taken. We believe we can make a difference and help strengthening the movement that is striving for global justice.

And of course, the means of getting there are just as valuable as the destination.

Being the change we want to see

Although we live on a planet of finite resources, fossil fuel extraction is higher than ever.

Corporations, bankers and politicians seem to often forget this fact, but we won’t. By using the power of the wheel and the fuel of our bodies, we will cycle to places and events to take action together. These caravans of cyclists help show an alternative to high fossil fuel-consuming vehicles and path the way for the transition.





Visibility

By cycling through towns and villages with banners and messages, we get seen by many. Our aim is to reach the media locally and internationally, when  possible and relevant. We sometimes will join up with other rides on our way, helping to enhance our message for change and have our voices amplified.

Uniting, Learning & Organising

We will break down the borders between our countries that are dividing us politically, and will be inclusive on as many fronts as possible. Through talks, workshops, film screenings and communal eating  we try to create spaces to connect with a variety of people and share our knowledge and skills. With this, we form groups in order to stand up, united, for a just and liveable planet, in the way that suits people best. We are all different and we value our diversity of tactics that are united by the common belief that another world is possible and that we can do it together.

Fun & Healthy

We refuse to take the element of fun out of the picture! Music, flags and good vibes are part of the ride, and we always try to make time to splash around in  puddles or go for a swim.

And, cycling for dozens of kilometers a day won’t go unnoticed in our legs and lungs. Our rides often go through gorgeous areas of the countryside, pleasing our senses and giving us a break from the noise and air pollution. Delicious and healthy food are also part of the package.
