Plicykling--Make the world a better place 26 Workshop

Plicykling. Make the world a better place workshop

Abstract

Plicykling is the art of picking up litter while riding a bicycle without stopping or slowing down. Learn how to get started and get out there to make the world a better place while you get somewhere by bicycle! Plicykling is a hack! In what can only be described as an industrial strength weaponized fake corporate culture of control with an absolute emphasis on selfishness, plicykling is also effectively a random act of kindness machine, and if the deed is witnessed, it pokes holes in these bubbles we all seem to have encased ourselves in. It helps our inner lights shines a little brighter, which is something we all need right now. Please meet Craig in the lobby of the New Yorker Hotel. You will need a bicycle - you can rent a Citibike across the street from the hotel on either 33rd or 35th Street for a low fee. Participants must agree to wear a helmet, follow all traffic laws, and abstain from any alcohol or drug use before or during this workshop.
