The first CFT Tour with six people to kick off
CFT was created in June last year (2013) by a group of Cambodians, who like to ride bicycle with my own initiative and under my supervision. The basic aim is to have a group of people, who like cycling for own health, who like to do something together, who have time at least once a month for cycling in team, and who inspired by collective action to raise awareness for the betterment of our society…..
What have we done so far?
- Defined the logo and the T-shirt collectively
- Agreed on name “Cycling for Freedom” or CFT
- Agreed to have joint cycling at least once a month
- Have done nine tours out of ten months since June 2013: almost once a month
- Have created FB group page with more than 82 members now
- Have done a long distance cycling from Phnom Penh to Takeo province (two days with about 180K)
- Have regular reflection meeting after each ride and agreed on plan for action in 2014
- Have developed a core group between 7-15 members for the ride
- Have networks with other cycling teams
CFT # 08 on 28.12.13 at Koh Dach
What next?

- Riding to raise awareness on many issues affecting our society
- Trying to attract more cyclists to join us
- Cycling around the Tonle Sap Lake by the end of the year (More than 800K)
