    Over 100 bikers took to the streets riding from Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei district, Kowloon, to Wanchai via Star Ferry with a police escort. They then rode to Causeway Bay and joined the candlelight vigil at Victoria Park with 150,000 people mourning for victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

     

    This event was organized by Wooferten, a non-profit that promotes art exploration and experimentation, to commemorate the bicycle parade in Beijing for press freedom in 1989 and to demand the immediate release of Liu Xiao Bo.
           
    Liu was sentenced to 11 years in jail on December 2009 for "inciting subversion of state power and the socialist system" through the Charter '08 manifesto, which was co-signed by some 300 prominent citizens advocating the end of the one-party rule.
