City-centre bike ride with graveyard shenanigans... all kinds of people, all kinds of bikes...

Lots of blinkies and bicycle bells - let's let people know we're on the road.

Leicester's first attempt at a non-confrontational, law-abiding, fun group bike ride.

Inspired by Critical Masses and Skyrides, we're hoping to make people feel more confident to get out on the roads around Leicester city centre.

--------------------------------------------------------

The plan for the ride is that our ride leaders will ride at the front and rear of the group. We want everyone to stay together. We'll go through (green) lights and cross busy roads TOGETHER.

We will be well lit and making plenty of noise with our bells.
We will be law-abiding and polite to other road users, whatever their reaction to and possible provocation of us.
Anyone who doesn't agree with agenda and fancies picking fights with drivers needs to find another group to ride with because we won't stand for it.
Cyclists seem to get enough bad press as it is without bringing any upon ourselves.

--------------------------------------------------------

If this takes off, we hope to hold these rides on a regular basis. We already have plans to ride to the celebration of the life and work of Stewert Charles (Mr Chop) that will be held on December 4th - watch the Leicester Critical Mass group for more details.

96 riders on our first ride ain't too shabby!
