This is a great opportunity for us all to show our concern about climate change, and the lack of effective action by Governments to prevent it, in a peaceful way.
 
So bring your families too – this is a ride for everyone. (lycra not needed!)
 
BikeSafe (the charity promoting the B4044 path from Botley to Eynsham) has been asked and has agreed to help the Oxford demo against inaction on Climate Change.
 
This is because one of the major benefits of the proposed B4044 path is a reduction in pollution through increased use of sustainable transport, as well as improved health, and so be a small but visible sign of local action.
