Detailed description (English): To celebrate European Car Free Day, a family and kids bike ride took place on September 22, with the motto “Back to School”. The route linked Parque das Nações parish schools to Olivais parish schools, passing through the gardens of Marvila, and demonstrated to families that the home-school route can be done by means of transportation alternative to cars.
About 40 participants ended the morning at Quinta Conde Darcos, having a picnic by the grass. The children, still full of energy, continued the fun in the playground.
This initiative was promoted by the Parish Council of Olivais with CicloExpresso do Oriente, the bicycle train from home to school.
