Cycle 4 Climate! Dublin Bay North
Event Information
About this event
As part of Bike Week 2022 we have planned a group cycle from the Convention Centre in Dublin City Centre, along the greenway to St. Anne’s Park. It’s a relatively flat 7km bike ride, mainly off road, and has fantastic views of Dublin Bay North. We want to bring together students from three ambassador programmes to showcase their action projects, have a climate conversation and learn from each other. If you don’t own a bike we can rent one for you – just let us know in advance. Please wear a helmet and bring your own water. We will provide a sustainable lunch. Family and friends are welcome to join.

11:15 - group cycle to St. Anne's Park
12:00 - sustainable lunch in the Red Stables
12:45 - action project showcase

Below you can see the leisurely route we will be taking, starting off on the Royal Canal Greenway, between Guild Street and the Convention Centre.
The majority of the route is completely off road, away from cars and on dedicated cycle lanes. Below you can see (marked in red) the short section that is on very quiet roads, bridging us from the Royal Canal Greenway to the Coastal Greenway.

About the #andshecycles Ambassador Programme
Green-Schools Travel has been working with teenage girls to develop a campaign that shines a light on barriers that are preventing them from cycling and start some necessary conversations. #andshecycles is a national campaign that wants to help girls get back on their bikes while addressing some of the reasons they’re reluctant to in the first place.
About the Green-Schools Water Ambassador Programme
