<P>Here's a little bit about this year's weekend schedule and how you can get involved!</P>
<H2>Friday 6pm – 8pm: Launch night with guest speakers and weekend kick-off (Paid event)</H2>
<P>Receive a warm welcome from the global movement and hear inspiring talks from our guest speakers, with food and drink to see-off the working week and kick-off the CycleHack weekend. We are doing a separate ticket on Meetup.com to help cover the cost of keeping you fed and refreshed <STRONG><A HREF="https://www.meetup.com/CycleHack-Manchester/events/242435100/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="2017 Global CycleHack Launch Night" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.meetup.com/CycleHack-Manchester/events/242435100/</A></STRONG><BR></P>
<P>Following the talks, you'll have a great opportunity to meet others and discuss barriers to cycling and therefore helping prep the CycleHackers for the Saturday kick-off.</P>

<H2>Saturday 11am – 3pm: CycleHacking and Lady Pedal Festival (Free event)</H2>
<P>We'll start with quick team forming and getting you to explore an idea using techniques like storytelling.</P>
<P>After making a first prototype, we encourage everyone to test their idea with others outside of the CycleHack event, on the street and in the environments they’d be used.</P>
<P>We hope you can join us for a cycle over to the <STRONG><A HREF="https://ladypedal.com/lady-pedal-festival/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lady Pedal Festival</A></STRONG> <STRONG>at 3pm</STRONG> which will also be a great playground to test your ideas with friendly people.</P>
<H3>Please feel free to BYOB (Bring your own Bike/Beer)!</H3>

<H2>About CycleHack</H2>
<P>Now in its fourth year, <A HREF="http://www.cyclehack.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CycleHack</A> 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.</P>
<P>Ideas will be implemented and tested in the city to see how they might work in the real world. All the ideas created are then shared on the <A HREF="http://www.cyclehack.com/catalogue/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CycleHack Open Source Catalogue</A> for the world to see, share and use in their own cities.</P>
<H2>FAQ</H2>
<P><STRONG>I can’t make the whole weekend. Can I still come?</STRONG><BR>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. Please still register and let us know on Twitter if you would like to only come to the final presentations.<BR></P>
<P><STRONG>I’m not a cyclist. Can I come?</STRONG><BR>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.</P>
<P><STRONG>What is a CycleHack?</STRONG><BR>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.</P>
