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. To raise climate action

through riders asking for support through climate action pledges instead of cash. All riders will get their own Do Nation page where they can see their impact and how that contributes to the collective impact of the ride. Check out the MAD Seat event page for an example.

2. To build awareness

of positive climate solutions. We'll organise talks and film screenings each evening of the ride, so that you arrive in Glasgow with a strong knowledge of climate action, not just strong legs. This part will be coordinated in partnership with Possible.

3. To create a community

of climate champions, with people joining from across industries and communities all with a shared passion for climate action. There's nothing like the challenge of a multi-day ride for building connections!

Underlying all of these is our desire to influence policy makers across the UK - through sharing stories, lessons, and impact data from the ride in partnership with Count Us In we hope to add to the momentum driving forward ambitious and meaningful action at COP26.

In order to make costs accessible to as wide a range of riders as possible, we're seeking sponsorship from like minded, climate-conscious companies to help subsidise the costs. If you're interested, please get in touch for more info.
