Detailed description (English): Bike ride for the citizens of Ruzomberok to show the possibility of mobility without cars.
We start from 3 biggest residential areas of the town and going by bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc to the centre of the town. The longest distance is 2,5km and so it is very easy to reach the centre without car, even if we have no 1 meter of cycling infrastructure!
We will meet in the centre to tell the participants more about sustainable urban mobility.
After short speeches about the possibilities of building safe infrastructure for active mobility in Ruzomberok including EU funds determined for this purpose we take a mass ride through the centre (including pedestrian zone) to the town hall where we will ring the bells to "wake up" the officials to take action to develop safe infrastructure for sustainable active mobility to encourage more people to use bikes, scooters, public transport, etc instead of private cars.
We have invited some sport clubs in the town, so they will join us with young athletes and trainers and also all members of the city council.
