A Halloween Ride - In Solidarity & Celebration
It’s been a while since Bristol saw a Critical Mass bike ride, now its time for one!
Solidarity: with the monthly CM in London that the police are trying to shut down after 12 years of rides – see www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk for more info
Solidarity: with all those killed and affected by the murderous oil/car culture & its side-effects, ruining our cities and planet.
Celebrating: the sustainable culture & economics of cycling. You are one less car!
Celebrating: the excitement of Halloween weekend. Let the devil in you ride out!
Bring whistles, flags, music, witches hats, ghostly masks, theatrics, smiles, friends, flyers, toolkits, and more. Lets party!
Bikes, skateboards, roller blades, wheelchairs, pogo sticks etc – all self-propelled transport forms are welcome
Thank you for not driving
