Ride Planet Earth

Kim Nguyen has been cycling from Australia to Denmark since August of 2008 in anticipation of next week's UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. His project is titled Ride Planet Earth, and after 15 months and 25,000 kilometers of biking he plans to arrive at the site of the conference this Sunday, December 6, the day before the talks are scheduled to begin. On that day, cyclists and environmentalists around the world will ride their bicycles concurrently with Kim to promote transportation behavior change and to raise awareness about the current effect climate change is having on communities in the non-industrialized world.

This Sunday's ride will take participating New Yorkers on a cycling tour of the city by riding around Central Park, along the Hudson River, and over the Brooklyn Bridge ultimately reaching Prospect Park. Participants are encouraged to join in for all or any segment of the days ride. Much more information on Kim's journey, the Ride Planet Earth Project, and the December 6 rides can be found on the project's website: http://rideplanetearth.org/
