Climate change bike rally to Copenhagen
By slhaf | July 15, 2009
Coming up this winter, from the 9-16 December 2009, Christian Aid is leading a team of 50 cyclists on a 140-miles ride from London to Copenhagen to highlight the start of the UN climate change summit and raise vital funds for Christian Aid projects in the developing world.
The three-day bicycle tour consists of rides between 25 and 65 miles a day, which caters well to all levels of cycling fitness. The group will leave London on the morning of 9 December, cycle through the English countryside to Harwich and, after the ferry ride, continue through the Danish islands to Copenhagen. Participants will cycle for no more than six hours a day and there will be two free days in the Danish capital before the group returns to the UK.
In Copenhagen, the cyclists will have the chance to make their ‘green’ presence count by joining thousands of climate change campaigners from all over the world at a mass rally calling for a fair and effective deal to combat climate change and to help the millions in the poorest countries already suffering the effects of climate change.
“Cyclists have always been at the forefront of the green movement. This is an amazing opportunity to make a real difference by making your voice heard at the crucial climate change talks in Copenhagen and at the same time raising money to help some the world’s poorest people,” said Alison Gregory of Christian Aid.
