After an Earth First! roadshow took place in Oxford, a meeting was called to decide on an action, and a bike blockade was chosen. Each Friday at 5.30 up to 80 cyclists circled the Plain for 5 minutes, blocking the traffic, then cycled slowly up to the town centre. It was weekly till Christmas, then monthly till the summer. On 11 June 1994 was a procession of non-motorised transport from the Plain to Broad Street where tables and chairs made a pop-up café. Later the Campus Buttery made a commercial version of it in the same place
