European Car-Free Day Critical Mass

Come along for a fun cycle around town .

Car-Free Day is almost upon us and a special Critical Mass bike ride has been planned for it (Sunday Sep 22nd). The meeting point is 1.30pm at the pedestrianised area next to the junction of Amien St. and Talbot Street. The reason for this new meeting place is that at 1.15pm Dublin Cycling Campaign are staging a demonstration at Connolly Station.

The demonstration is part of an ongoing campaigning to highlight Irish Rail's dismissive attitude towards the concept of integrated sustainable transport in general and the need for bicycle parking at train stations in particular.

The new meeting spot means that cyclists can take part in this demonstration and then the Critical Mass which just might end up at a free street party.

Bring your family, friends, bicycle bells and whistles for a fun and friendly cycle around town.

For those unfamiliar with Critical Mass, it's a loose group of cyclists who meet up once a month to cycle around the city in order to show that bikes are traffic too. See http://www.critical-mass.org/ for more details.
In Dublin, we usually meet on the last Friday of every month at the Garden of Remembrance at 6pm.

Tarmac is by-product of petrol production.
Cars kill.
Cars = Tarmac.
Tarmac = Cars.
We have enough cars.
we don´t have enough trees.
we have enough tarmac.
we don´t have enough oxygen.
We hav enough plastic.
plastic is a byproduct of petrol production.
With recycled polymer plastics we can make
bikes.
And give them away free.
War is a byproduct of petrol production.
War kills.
Car = Tarmac = no oxygen = War
recycled trycycles ideas and designs are on various IMC sites from Sweden to Barcelona.
trycycles are better at supporting the weight.
Don´t try and sell them.
We eh own the patents, and if ye sell them and don´t give ´em away free we´ll sue the ballbearings off ye.

under your feet!

and if you don´t agree imagine the world when china gets cars.
