On this special annual day Bikeventures and Cycling out of Poverty are happy to join the celebration of the FREEDOM OF CYCLING in Jinja, Uganda. @Cycling out of Poverty CooP-Africa with @Bikeventures Uganda: Bicycle Tours and Rentals is happy to announce the third Critical mass ride in Jinja!
Remember its 3rd June World Bicycle Day so we call upon all interested cyclists to join in order to recognize the versatility and uniqueness of the bicycle, as well as its reliability and sustainability as a mode of transportation.
It marks the initiative of encouraging motorists around Jinja to resort to using bicycles as part of the advocacy of preventing air and noise pollution produced by vehicles, this causes a huge danger to human health and damages to the environment.
We can promote cycling around Jinja through this cause and advocate for safe cycling space.
This is not a demonstration but rather an initiative where by all cyclists around Jinja meet, have fun and meet new friends while on the bike and discuss ways of transforming Jinja into a Bicycle city.
At the end of the ride we all gather and have some refreshment.
Remember to bring a friend and note the following:
1. Our rides are free and open to anyone who can cycle approximately 10 kms with own bike.
2. Our rides are supported by Police cyclists and staff cycling marshals.
4. Our goal is to get as many people as possible back on bicycles and ultimately transform Jinja into a cycling city.
5. Bikes available for rental at UGX 20,000 in case you don’t have one.
More fun awaits you all..
