Belfast Cycle City is a campaign led by Belfast Friends of the Earth which seeks positive change to cycling provision in the city of Belfast, with an ambitious vision of transforming the city into one of the top ten cycling cities in the UK by 2020.
A mass cycle ride along the main avenue in the grounds of Stormont Castle has been organised for Tuesday 15th September as part of this campaign, and Friends of the Earth are calling for all cyclists to show their support.
This is the FINAL BIG PUSH of the campaign to deliver our vision of Belfast as one of the top ten cycling cities in the UK. This is your BIGGEST and BEST opportunity to influence cycling in Northern Ireland for the next ten years. We need YOU to join us, cycling up the road to Stormont to show public support for the campaign.
Cycling to Stormont Castle
We plan to “paint” a massive cycling symbol on the road up to Stormont, symbolically turning the government’s own road into a cycle path for a day. (Don’t worry, we won’t be leaving a permanent cycling symbol on the road to Stormont, it will only be there for a few minutes for a photo shoot.)
We need your support in this final action!
Meet at the main Newtownards Road entrance to Stormont at 4pm, Tuesday 15th Sept with your bicycle. Please pass this invitation to all your friends; we want to make as big an impact on Stormont as possible.
To take part in the ride and show your support for the campaign, join the Belfast Cycle City Facebook Group and sign a petition to call on the City Councillors to make Belfast one of the top ten cycling cities in the UK by 2020.
