Detailed description (English): A colourful and joyous bike ride to celebrate women's freedom to cycle.
The event, which started in Turkey in 2013 and quickly spread internationally, is being organized in Treviso for the first time on World Car Free Day, combining the issue of sustainable mobility with that of gender equality.
Riding a bike is a simple yet powerful way for women to gain visibility in society and we hope that this event will encourage its use also by those women whose freedom of movement is still limited for cultural and social reasons.
