Cycling To The Copenhagen Climate Conference
A few weeks ago Daily Mirror journalists Kieron & Greg were equipped with some Focus cycles and some dhb cycling kit to assist them with their challenge to ride from London to Copenhagen with riders from Christian Aid to attend the UN Climate Conference.
Below is the first of many updates they will be posting via the Mirror’s Cycling Blog
There’s a really important meeting taking place in Copenhagen next week, and apparently it’s going to decide whether we turn the world into something resembling Mad Max or save the planet like Bruce Willis in Armageddon.
The UN Climate Conference is a big deal. So, donning our journalistic helmets, we’ll be cycling from Stanstead to Copenhagen along with riders from Christian Aid.
Our good friends at Wiggle.co.uk have given us some tasty new Focus bikes to test out along the way as well. (Focus Corrente Courier 2010 and Focus Crater Lake Hybrid 2010)
We’ll not be alone though, along the thousands of back-slapping politicians and lentil eating hippies there’s also going to be a lot of cyclists in Denmark making their voices and bells heard.
