I Bike MCR Mini Festival.

I Bike MCR | 26.09.2008 12:03 | Climate Chaos | Free Spaces

I Bike MCR presents a week long series of cycling events and activities to celebrate the bicycle from 6th-12th October 2008



I Bike MCR presents a week long series of cycling events and activities to celebrate the bicycle.

I Bike MCR is a grassroots voluntary group where everyone gives their time and skills for free. We organise events that aim to promote cycling and to build a strong supportive cycling commiunity in MCR. We do this in our own spare time because we believe that giving our time to make a change will be worth it.

It will be a free festival in order to make it accessible to everyone no matter their economic situation. We will, however, ask for donations to go to helping the I Bike MCR cycle campaign, you can give money or time please look here for info:
