We want to remind drivers and the city authoritie that the cyclists are equal participants in road traffic and like that want to be treated. Cities are for people not for cars! Let us show that we are many, that want to create adequate infrastructure for us, that the bike is an excellent mean of transportation and recreation! Perhaps the will notice. It also depends on you!
