Podcast #3 Earth Ride and flashmob special
Sunday 28th of March is Adelaide City Council and BicycleSA are hosting an Earth Day community ride.
Aimed at promoting environmental sustainability, including sustainable transport options and encouraging behavioural change among patrons. Incorporating the outer city squares, Earth Ride – Adelaide 2010 will take bike riders on a car free, entertaining and educational journey through the city streets in support of Earth Hour.

On Friday 19 to promote the Earth Day ride a flash mob event took over King William St outside the Town Hall for five minutes from 12.30pm. Music was played, cyclists were invited to ride around the road and inflated earth balls were thrown from the Town Hall balcony. At 12.35pm I spoke with BicycleSA CEO Christian Haag about the intentions of the Earth Ride and progress towards more car free days in Adelaide.
