Bike mechaning for women and transgendered people

Submitted by nikolai on

On the weekend of the 12th of Feb Pedallers Arms, Split Peaches, and a special guest from Bristol are organising a bike maintenance course for women and transgendered people.

We hope to have some cycling fun too. Maybe an illuminated bike ride or a critical mass with a sound system....

There will be a charge to cover costs, but we will try to keep it as low cost as possible.

Park(ing) Day Leeds

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Park(ing) Day Leeds returns for a third year, taking over parking spaces and turning them into parks.

This year, we have the involvement of TINWOLF, Transition Meanwood, PuLSE, SURE and make pla(y)ce, and we'll try and get some Urban Harvest stuff in as well.

Park(ing) Day started in 2005 in San Francisco to react against the growing amount of urban space used for cars.

We could still do with your help, we need bike trailers (and riders), furniture and activities.

Tatting Leeds Festival for asylum seekers

Submitted by nikolai on

Thousands of tonnes of good camping equipment, clothes and other materials are going to be dumped after Leeds Festival. We're planning to do something about it to help both the environment and those in desperate need of it. A new group SolAIDarity (well an off shoot of ATC and other groups) has formed to go to festivals and tat down stuff and redistribute
it to various good causes - in particular to the migrants in Calais.
