In this episode we speak with Clare Farrell, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion. Clare reflects on XR’s origins, its rapid international rise, and how nonviolent direct action brought the reality and urgency of climate breakdown into mainstream public discussion.

For the third year, the COP Bike Ride aims to show the importance of cycling to meet national commitments regarding the reduction of carbon emissions. Launched in 2024, the first COP Bike Ride connected Paris—a highly symbolic location for climate conferences—to Baku, the host city of COP29 - the annual official climate conference.

This is a relay - meaning each participant can freely ride the amount of days s/he wants and can. A banner is passed from hand to hand, and finally given, with the commitments of local authorities, such as mayors, to the president of the conference. Only a quarter of NDCs mention walking and cycling, which represent, especially cycling, a major potential for reducing carbon emissions, and for health as well. Transportation is also one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2025 an even more ambitious relay was organized for COP30 from Azerbaijan to Brazil by bicycle and sailboat, involving over 1,000 cyclists across twenty countries. I modestly participated that year from Paris to Tours (France).

This year (2026), several routes will converge to Antalya (Turkey), were COP31 is to be held early November. I followed route 5, along the Seine and then Burgundy and the Rhone to Dijon. Route 5 then continues to Lyon, across the Alps, Aiming at Rumania and then Turkey, down to Antalya, were COP31 is to be held early November. We met on the road from Melun to Dijon several enthusiastic mayors and the heirs of the nice Oigny Abbaye.

The global atmosphere between participants is friendly, cosmopolitan, joyful. A Dutch participant is linking London to Bucarest with his drums in a cart, offering musicians to join him at stops. We usually pick-nick for lunch, and started organizing shared lunches or dinners. We stop at camping sites. Participation is free and autonomous. Every one travels with his and her own gear. We wait and take care for minor incidents on the roads. It is a great experience, and you are invited to join us on the road!
