Bike Week 2008: Cycling toward sustainability: As part of Bike Week 2008 (14th to 22nd June) cyclists will converge on the Senedd in Cardiff for a rally to promote environmental sustainability. Youth, cycling and environmental groups in mid-Wales have taken the initiative to promote the ride, ‘The Carbon Cycle’. This growing network includes the Welsh Youth Forum on Sustainable Development, Scouts, and Grŵp Beic Aberystwyth. In mid-Wales the ride will start on Wednesday 18th June and finish in Cardiff on Saturday 21st. A petition asking for more cycle lanes and provision for bikes on public transport will be handed to Environment Minister Jane Davidson. En route, cyclists will stop-off to find out about local environmental campaigns. In Merthyr Tydfil, for example, cyclists from mid-Wales will meet Residents Against Ffos-y-Frān, the environmentally disastrous open-cast coal mine. Riders also intend linking up with peer groups along the way to discuss promoting cycling as a viable way of getting to work and school. In the spirit of Bike Week, the ride aims to promote cycling as healthy and sustainable means of transport that is also seriously fun! The goal is to involve as many cyclists as possible to converge on the Senedd. Riders want to lobby Government to commit to investing more to promote cycling not as a leisure or sports activity but as an everyday means of transport.
