SUMMARY:Critical Mass Cycle Ride
DESCRIPTION:A family-friendly\, accessbile\, leisurely ride around Leamingt
 on town\, the cyclists will meet from 11.00 am and leave the Pump Room Gar
 dens around 11.30 am with the aim of taking a circular route finishing bac
 k at the Bandstand where there will be refreshments and a debrief.
 It is
  unclear how many cyclists are expected for the ride and how much traffic 
 will be disrupted as a result of the event.
 Our aim is to highlight the 
 need for more cycle friendly routes\, to bring attention to the severe air
  quality issues in parts of Leamington\, and to promote this clean form of
  transport.
 Route
 8.33 km
 Children\, and those who wish to take it a
  little easier\, can join the ride as it comes back to Regent Street if wa
 nting to do a shorter distance.
 You don't have to come with a bike\, the
 re will be activity at the Band Stand for the duration\, and we will be su
 pporting the ride as it comes back down The Parade.
