On Sunday 10th October, the streets of Sydney were filled with (bike) love, thanks to the amazing turn out for our Keep it Wheel ride. Our aim was to celebrate the city’s new cycleways as well as the global day of climate solutions organised by 350.org and the 10:10 global climate campaigns.
The Keep it Wheel team did a great job of engaging with local businesses and sending a big heart-felt ‘thank you’ to them for soldiering on through the cycleway road works. We’ve had great feedback from cafe and shop owners along the cycleways and from the wider community.
A massive thank you to the 120+ people who came along – you were part of the most widespread day of environmental action that this planet’s ever seen! By getting involved, you helped to send the loudest message yet to our politicians that we’re ready to get to work on climate solutions.
We’ve uploaded photos of the day to our Flickr page (if you have any shots you’d like to share, send over any you took please at io@digitaleskimo.net). Remember to visit and support any business sporting the Keep it Wheel Bike Friendly sticker.
