Cuts have just been announced for this year reducing the cycle budget in Belfast by 98% from £450,000 down to £8,000, whilst at the same time spending on new "strategic" roads increased by 51% from £149m to £225m. This is an insult to cyclists.
It is time to express your anger. Come with your bicycle and anything to make noise, bicycle bells, whistles, etc.
