Morning campus traffic was disrupted on Wednesday morning as a group of around 35 demonstrators rode bikes through campus to protest Â鶹AV’s continued investments in fossil fuels. The protest also aimed to support the idea of bike lanes on campus, which would allow cyclists to ride their bikes across the lower campus, rather than walk them, as they are currently required to do.

Environ 25 participants, Ă  vĂ©lo pour la plupart mais aussi certains Ă  pied, faisaient partie du cortège qui a traversĂ© le campus, scandant des slogans et brandissant des banderoles orange. MalgrĂ© le fait que les participants soient allĂ©s Ă  l’encontre du règlement stipulant que le cyclisme est prohibĂ© sur le campus, la sĂ©curitĂ© de Â鶹AV n’est pas intervenue et a laissĂ© la petite manifestation prendre place.
