2017 Global CycleHack Launch Night

Join us at the launch night for a warm welcome from the global movement and inspiring talks from our guest speakers, with food and drink to see-off the working week and kick-off the CycleHack weekend.

After the talks, let's chat and capture our barriers to cycling in Manchester. These will help kick-start CycleHack ideas on Saturday morning!

==========================================

Speakers

• Michael Duffield, Innovation Projects Officer at Manchester Science Partnership and volunteer organiser for CycleHack! He'll be giving you a grand introduction to the global movement and what we'll be up to over the weekend.

• Natalie McCarthy, User Experience Designer at BBC in Salford. Nat is a practitioner of human-centered design and see's herself as a fair-weather cyclist. She'll be talking about how you can quickly start problem-solving with your fellow Mancunians in mind.

About CycleHack
Now in its fourth year, CycleHack (http://www.cyclehack.com/) is an annual event, taking place in over 35 different locations simultaneously on one weekend in September. CycleHack is on a mission to make the world more sustainable through encouraging citizens to take a pro-active, DIY approach to reducing the barriers to cycling. We believe that through empowering individuals, organisations and governments to collaborate, share skills and prototype new cycling ideas, we can build a healthier, more active and sustainable world.

FAQ

What does the cost of the ticket cover?
This is simply to get your bellies filled with some delicious food and refreshing drinks on the Friday evening.

I can’t make the whole weekend. Can I still come?
Ideally, you’ll be able to make the whole event and to support the building of hacks throughout, but you are under no obligation to stay the whole time.

I’m not a cyclist. Can I come?
Of course, everyone is welcome! If you consider yourself a non-cyclist, then this is the perfect opportunity to hack the barriers which stop you from getting on the saddle. We want to make the world bike-friendly for everyone.

What is a CycleHack?
A CycleHack can be a tangible prototype of an idea which addresses a barrier to cycling. It can also mean to retrospectively modify current infrastructure, policy and / or cycling products & services using a cyclist’s intuition.
