On your bike for COP26!

Update Mon 13 Sep: The route is finalised! (click to see the map)

After starting at West Park at 11:00, we’ll make our way to Garrowby Orchard, just off Priory Road, to check in with the Hull Friends of the Earth project there. We’ll then make our way to Temple Street to see the climate change mural, before heading to East Park. In total, it’s about 8.5 mile / 14 km, with people free to join us or drop out whenever suits them. Approximate timings as follows:

11:00 - Leave West Park; 11:30 - Arrive Garrowby Orchard; 12:00 - Leave Garrowby Orchard; 12:30 - Arrive Temple Street mural; 12:45 - Leave Temple Street mural; 1315 - Arrive East Park.

Please note: the route goes over the Priory Drive - Hotham Road North footbridge; if you plan to join us and use an adapted or non-standard cycle, or have mobility issues, that make using this bridge impractical, we will modify the route accordingly.

In the run-up to the climate conference, our friends at Hull Friends of the Earth (HFOE) are arranging a series of activities to draw attention to what can, and already is, being done in the local community. When they suggested we put on a bike ride together, we jumped at the chance!

So come and join us for a ride round the city.

Starting at West Park and making our way across the city to East Park, we’ll stop in to say hello to HFOE volunteers who are working on other activities during the day, and make use of some of the new and existing bike infrastructure for our route. What better way to see what the city has to offer and how we can help it transform for the better?
