Bike Week in UL (wk6)
Bike Week (wk6)
Tuesday: 1pm – bike sale in students’ union courtyard
The Students’ Union’s bike scheme for buying and selling bikes
Mountain Bike UL will also give a display of their funky hip-hop in the Students Union Courtyard
Wednesday: all day – walk in / cycle in / bus in to college
Make an effort and leave the car at home (if you have one) and either walk, cycle or take the bus into college. Something that can be repeated also on other days…
2pm – bike repair workshop
Bring your bike if it needs fixing and any tools that might be useful. Just watching and learning is welcome as well.
There will also be a display of designs for proposed bike sheds for the campus, with SofA (Society of Architecture) – come along and have a look!
3.30pm – cycle around campus
The smaller version of the critical mass. The cycle around campus is about highlighting how cars take up a lot of space, pollute the environment, and often transport no more than one person!
4.30pm – critical mass in city centre
critical mass is a world wide movement that is about taking to the streets with your bike to show that there are alternative means of transport that make a difference in the fight against global warming and for a sustainable lifestyle. It is about claiming back the city and the streets from the cars to promote cycling rights and people-friendly living spaces for all of us!
Thursday: 6pm – screening “We Are Traffic!” and “Return of the Scorcher”
Two films about the critical mass movement and the history of the bike.
Hope to see you there

It would be useful if real dates were used as well as saying week 6. Especially for those people who do not have to pay particular attention to the term calendar.

It’s this week and if you’re in UL, you’ll probably be aware of the academic calendar imho
