Youtube Livestream Ceremony and Strava Ride 直播Youtube記念儀式及Strava小組騎行


Ride of Silence沉默騎行2021
今年5月19日星期三的「沉默騎行」將繼續進行，但會以個人或小組踩車進行。
This year’s Ride of Silence, on Wed 19 May, will go ahead, but riding individually or in small groups.
當前的健康狀況意味著我們無法成群結隊地騎行。但是，我們仍然可以悼念16位遇難的踩單車人士，並記得去年在香港道路上受傷的2607人，沉默地發出「我們在這裡」的聲明，應得道路使用者的尊重和考慮。
Though we can’t ride as a large group, we can still honour the 16 cyclists who died and remember the 2607 people injured on Hong Kong roads last year, quietly making the statement that “we are here” and deserve respect and consideration as road users.

在當日晚上7時30分至10時期間，我們邀請您觀看Youtube網上直播記念儀式，之後登入在 Strava 的「沉默騎行」踩單車活動，獨自或與1至3個朋友一起去沿著尖沙咀與深水埗之間的路線踩你自己的小組「沉默騎行」。
On that evening from 7.30pm to 10.00pm, we invite you to join the Youtube live ceremony and Strava Ride event and ride your own Ride of Silence – either alone or with up to three friends – along the usual route between TST and Sham Shui Po.

通過踩單車，我們默念那些受害者。但是在這個困難的時刻，我們還展示了單車具有的移動性，可以避免困在帶有潛在病毒的封閉車輛中，甚至可以挽救生命。
By riding, we quietly recognise all those victims. But at this difficult time we are also showing that bikes offer mobility that avoids being stuck in a closed vehicle with potential virus carriers, which may even save lives.

Sunday 19 Feb – action against scheme to welcome more cars

February 16th, 2012 | Posted by wheeliefine in advocacy | events - (0 Comments)

This Sunday (19th February) HKCAll will support the march calling for the Government to halt the ‘Ad Hoc Quota Trial Scheme for Cross Boundary Private Cars’, which will bring more cars on to our road network, when what is needed is a thorough review of the way we use our urban space and a shift towards individual mobility – on foot and by bike.  Why should 80-90% of the width between buildings be dedicated to motor vehicles, while pedestrians are squeezed into rat-alley pavements and cyclists are despised?

Hope you can join us at 3pm, outside Sogo / Great George Street in Causeway Bay.  If you bring your bike, we’ll walk with the group as far as Wanchai, and then ride through Central to meet them at Tamar, to deliver our message to the government.

Main event FB page: http://www.facebook.com/events/383580341668077/

The march/ride is organised by Land Justice League and supported by many other groups, including Clean Air Network and Designing Hong Kong.  Over the weekend, others, including Civic Party, the Democratic Party, the League of Social Democrats and the Liberal Party are taking action against this impending scheme, and highlighting the lack of sustainable urban planning, and the secretive and high-handed way it has been foisted on us.

See you on Sunday!

HK Public Space Initiative – Vision of the Harbour Promenade

December 29th, 2011 | Posted by Hong Kong Cycling Alliance in events | Harbourfront Cycleway | transport - (0 Comments)

Looking forward to the Hong Kong Public Space Initiative forum coming on the 7th January 2012… it will be a great place to air our views on allowing more access to the harbourfront for cyclists to influential people.

The forum is being conducted in Cantonese, however they are providing simultaneous written interpretation (similar to a subtitle service) through providing each English speaker an electronic device (e.g. iPad/Laptop) connected to our translator’s computer by wifi, then the translator will type the main points raised by speakers to the messenger in real time.

HKPSI Public Seminar

December 8th, 2011 | Posted by Hong Kong Cycling Alliance in events | Harbourfront Cycleway - (1 Comments)

This is a great opportunity to get together with like-minded people who want to make Hong Kong’s harbourfront areas public and accessible to everyone!

The “Vision for Waterfront Promenades in Victoria Harbour” public seminar is being held in Cantonese, but they are hoping to get simultaneous translations into english.

From HKPSI:

Founded by a group of young people, the Hong Kong Public Space Initiative (“HKPSI”) is a charitable organization (IRD File No. 91/11733) that aims to bring the knowledge of public space into the public sphere through promotion and education.

Believing you might be interested, we are cordially inviting your members to attend our very first public seminar titled “Vision for Waterfront Promenades in Victoria Harbour”, of which Mrs. Carrie Lam (林鄭月娥女士), Secretary for Development, is going to deliver a speech, followed by a panel discussion comprising professionals from different fields: Mrs. Winnie Kang (姜梁詠怡女士) Principal Assistant Secretary (Harbour), Development Bureau Prof. Mee Kam Ng (伍美琴教授) Professor, Department of Geog. & Resource Mgt., CUHK Prof. Patrick Lau (劉秀成教授) Legislative Councilor Ms. Christine Loh (陸恭蕙女士) Chairperson, Society for Protection of the Harbour Ir. Albert Lai (黎廣德先生) Director & Ex-Chairman, Conservancy Association Mr. Wong Ho Yin (王浩賢先生) Committee Member, Land Justice League.

This promises to be both an excellent learning opportunity and a golden chance for the public to raise out opinions and vision for the promenades.

Ecomobility conference

November 16th, 2011 | Posted by wheeliefine in advocacy | events | uncategorised - (1 Comments)

A conference in December, hosted by the Hong Kong Foresight Centre, will bring together stakeholders to see how Hong Kong can develop a more environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive way of local mobility, combining the use of non-motorized means of transport such as walking, cycling and wheeling with the use of public transport and light electric vehicles, provided electric power stems from renewable energy sources.

Would you like to take part?  (exact date to be announced)

Taiwan Cycling Festival

August 14th, 2011 | Posted by wheeliefine in events - (4 Comments)

As part of its ongoing push to make itself a regional mecca for cycling, Taiwan is holding a first annual ‘Taiwan Cycling Festival’, 5-13 November 2011.

For an event that was promoted with full page ads in The Economist, there is surprisingly little information online.  No single main website that I can find.

There was an official announcement, with the national tourism authority responsible.  But this third-party site seems to be the best available info. (There was a sort of warm-up event last year.)

Does anyone know more?
