Cyclehack is an event aimed at making cities more cycle friendly.  The idea is to bring people together to come up with ideas that solve the barriers to cycling and build them in under 48 hours.  The main Cyclehack event will be held in Edinburgh, with satellite events being held all around the world.

On June 21st we’re planning to do cyclehack in Tbilisi.  Please join our Facebook page here - facebook.com/cyclehacktbilisi.

This is going to be a great chance to come up with ideas for making bicycle transit better in Tbilisi!  Follow us on Facebook for more information.  If anyone would like to help make Cyclehack Tbilisi bigger and better, please get in touch!

Where’s the follow up happening?

I think this is a great step further from Critical Mass which is also mobilising citizens to cycle and send the point across by cycling together around the city.

Curious where will you be collecting the input and ideas for change? is there a public conversation where people continue to work on prototypes or small projects together in the follow up?

One thing we can offer, taking the opportunity of Futurespotters event in Tbilisi, June 24-26, is a session with global participants involved in the wider urban planning activism. @Jeff Haack would you be up for hosting such a session and building it together with fellow Georgians, Armenians, Egyptians in the runup to the event?

also pinging @Vahagn & @Elene Margvelashvili to see if they’d be up for it.

Bike Collective Tbilisi

So great idea!

Its exactly that is missing, to move from “just mass” towards something more constructive. There is so many cyclists groups and ongoing projects/events at the moment, some of them with more sportive interest, but anyway all of us with same goal. But what i see is missing is better communication between all cyclist and lovers.

What’s why I created a facebook group Bicycle Collective Tbilisi for different cooperations, information sharing https://www.facebook.com/groups/208288109360026/

Cyclehack still planned for June 21st?

@Jeff Haack,  any updates on the Cyclehack? June 21 is in 2 days, and as there have been no updates  or more recent invitations I expect that it won’t happen on this day. Is it postponed, i.e. do you plan to do it later, or is the event cancelled?
