Ride for Palestine 🇵🇸 - Gaza Sunbirds Fundraiser

Friday 26th April - 6:30pm

Meet at and finish at Bournemouth Pier Approach

This Critical Mass we're teaming up with Palestine Solidarity Bournemouth to raise money for the Gaza Sunbirds.

The Gaza Sunbirds are paralympians whose dreams of atending the paralympics were taken away by the ongoing war and destruction in Gaza. Now they deliver aid across the Gaza Strip. Together we ride in a critical mass, you can donate to our fundraiser to support their vital work.

We also ride in solidarity with Gaza, the destruction caused by Israel is untold. The British Government is selling bombs to Israel, profiting off of the war. Join us to stand for a ceasefire.

In critical mass we ride as one large group, taking up the whole left side of the road, it’s really a blast.

We'll be setting off later so bring your lights and we'll light up the town as the sun sets.

This ride is suitable for children supervised by parents, please be aware we will be cycling on roads. In critical mass we ride as one large group, taking up the left side of the road. The event has been pre liaised with Dorset Police.

Anyone is welcome, Bring your bluetooth speaker along for tunes as we ride, and attach one of our flags to your bike!

(BCP has ranked highly in the most congested areas in the UK for years, and this is as there are no reasonable alternatives to driving, let’s change that. This new year, let’s call for a safer BCP.)

Will you join us?

Approx 10 km ride, 1 hr, at a slow pace.

❗Important bits and bobs:

We will aim to have at least 8 stewards on the ride in hi-viz, at the front and back of the ride to help keep the group together, there will be flags available to attach to your bikes which should make us very visible for the ride! We will do everything we can to guide and protect the ride at the traffic lights and roundabouts.

The ride will be at a slow pace so you do not need to worry about being left behind. Feel free to bring children along on children's seats, on your bike or in a trailer. Anyone riding along with us however must have a reasonable level of road sense. You. We will have a briefing before the ride to run through everything you will need to know and a summary of the route.

Last thing, it is your responsibility to make sure your bike is in good condition - the main things to check are your chain and brakes! We do recommend wearing a helmet on the day.

See you there!
