The event coincides with the international day of “riding a bike to work”. And, this is the message the VeloEvolution team wants to, once more, convey – riding a bike is a great way to go to work, to school or anywhere in town. And also, they are trying to persuade the society to understand the bikers and their needs, to be more tolerant and open for more bikes on the roads and more biking infrastructure.
This is the serious part and now for the excitement of the procession. The route will follow the boulevards Rakovski, Patriarch Evtimii, Fridtjof Nansen, Evlogi Georgiev and will end at the statue of the Soviet Army. You can view a detailed map here. All streets will be closed for cars during the procession.
Now, for the record! The idea is to park a maximum vehicles and their passengers on a given space of 16 parking slots. That is, how many bikes and bikers can fit where 16 cars can.
And if all of this is not enough to raise your biking spirit, VeloEvolution organized a concert after the event with the band Ayavis.
This is another nice event by VeloEvolution - the cause, the program, and the organization are excellent. We can tell because we were at the event last year and it was great.
See you all there!
