Sydney Harbour Bridge climate rider Glenn Morris arrives in Tamworth with urgent climate message

Since making headlines in 2016 for riding across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a protest for climate action, the organic beef producer rode through the streets of Tamworth to call for urgent attention to the environment.

Mr Morris told the Leader he was hoping to inspire voters to think of the climate when they head to the polls later this month.

"The greatest power we have to influence change in our lives for the future is at voting time," Mr Morris said.

"It's an important time for everyone to consider the decisions they make that can influence the outcomes for their children and grandchildren."

With regional communities like Tamworth reliant on agriculture, Mr Morris said without action residents would face dire consequences.

"Once climate change is well and truly upon us we won't be able to stop it then."

The ride kicked off at Anzac Park on Friday before Mr Morris and fellow rider Tony Macbeth travelled through the streets to the Longyard Hotel.

Mr Morris will also be attending the 'Big Family Climate Picnic' which will be held in Bicentennial Park at 10am on Saturday.
