Description

PushBike ride to celebrate cycling and to show your support for a safe cycling network.

A social ride that should go from Civic Park along a cycleway (separated from cars) around town, the beaches, to a dinner spot. But there isn’t any cycleways that go to these places so we will have to be outstanding law abiding citizens and follow the road rules by riding safely on roads and/or shared paths.
Unsponsored, unaffiliated, CM is an intentional community
in motion, bringing back life to the car domination of our
fabulous city. Pollution Free Traffic, Safety in Numbers,
Party on Wheels. Ride daily; celebrate monthly!
We won’t hog the road like smart-alecs. We want co-operation and safety from all road users. Don't pre-judge, because all CMs are different, and you won’t know what your missing! The only monthly sustainable bike ride: We don't ride unsafely close to parked cars, in the “car door opening death lane”.

1st Friday Monthly
Meet at Civic Park, Newcastle 5:30pm for a 6pm start
Bring: Bike, helmet and lights (it may be dark).
