Activities within the week Activities within the week

Bangkok organises activities during EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2006, taking into account the annual theme.

All week
Some 150 riders from our Thai Cycling Club (www.thaicycling.com) are spending the whole of every Sunday in September on a set plan which can be seen on our web site. These riders are distributing leaflets on energy conservation and health improvement by way of cycling. We are interviewing members of the public to find out if they have bicycles at home and what they do with them. The rider's bicycles are fitted with signs advertising the car free day on 22/9/06.
