In case you’ve been living under a rock, Europe has come down with a case of Mobilitas Humanitas…alright, alright, this week was European Mobility Week. Over here the Dutch coined it ‘Week of Progress‘, promoting alternative and new (future) modes of transportation.
Car-Free Sunday events schedule
Facilitated by a couple of Ministries and Environmental organizations, the entire things is pretty much set up by the people. On city scale, towns, neighborhoods, blocks, streets, organizations, charities, cultural institutions, etc, you name it, everybody is involved in playfully pushing for more clean air, sustainability, etc, through fun events.
Like any other major town in the Netherlands, Amsterdam is almost completely car-free for the entire day, but not forgetting about the people actually trying to come and enjoy the festivities. Parking hubs, free public transportation will allow anyone to come along for the ride…right. I’ll comment about the difference between a car-free day and a regular day in Amsterdam in my next post.
Because for now, I’m going to leave it at this and set out on my bike to explore the following (mostly cycling related) events (doable in one day by myself) and whatever falls in my lap in between:
- Leliegracht Brunch
- Park For One Day
- Bakfiets Parade
- Bicycle Party
- Whike Try Outs
- Bicycle Exhibition
Have yourselves a great day too! Oh, and if you’re in town and you want hook up with me, just e-mail me or place a comment, I’ll be checking those on the go.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
