Detailed description (English): To celebrate this day without cars and in order to gain as many sympathizers as possible, MUBi Porto will organize a fun bike ride through the city. This bike ride will connect the main university campus areas and passing through several schools, sports equipments, two green areas, as well as using the existing bike lanes of the city. This will motivate students, young people and people of all ages to cycle, and create awareness of what kind of city we really want: a city that promotes sustainable alternatives to motorized mobility, with better road safety for pedestrians and cyclists alike, as well as more green areas where we can stroll or just relax and where our kids can play in peace.
Detailed description (original language): Por ocasião do Dia Mundial sem Carros, a MUBi Porto irá organizar um passeio de bicicleta divertido através da cidade.
