Hong Kong Cycling Alliance
- Hong Kong Cycling Alliance
The Hong Kong Cycling Alliance (HKCAll) is a small non-profit organisation that works to make Hong Kong a more bike-friendly city. Through coordination of the efforts of Hong Kong's many cyclists and cycling groups it campaigns to educate decision-makers about the needs of cyclists in order to encourage and enable all types of cycling, including commuting, leisure, off-road, racing and touring.
The group focuses on liaison with government bodies, transport operators and others to effect changes in laws, regulations and practices that affect the cycling community in Hong Kong.
HKCAll has organised, or been closely involved with, events including the 20 November 2005 protest ride, which demanded government support for cycling, following the road death of a local racing cyclist [http://www.scmp.com/portal/site/SCMP/menuitem.06f0b401397a029733492d9253a0a0a0/?vgnextoid=dd0ed7f3f1221110VgnVCM100000360a0a0aRCRD&s=Archive] , the annual Ride of Silence in memory of cyclists killed on the roads (2006, 2007 [http://hongkong.scmp.com/hknews/ZZZ3Z7QXH1F.html] ), and the campaign to build a waterfront cycle path on Hong Kong island.
