Ride the Change

Aside from simply having a fun adventure while exploring the UK by bike, we have three direct goals for the ride:

1. Connect

Build a community of climate champions, through the shared challenge of the ride

2. Experience

Experience the positive impact we can all have by showing leadership on climate action, through raising climate action pledges to support the challenge*.

3. Influence

By sharing the story of the ride, the communities we pass through, and the carbon savings we inspire, we aim to inspire individuals to take action and to influence decision makers to be bolder in their climate commitments.

*All riders have their own Do Nation page where they can invite people to support them with climate action pledges, see their combined impact, and how that contributes to the collective impact of the ride. Take action to support a rider today.
