Cyclovia is a global happening that’s been happening for 30 years now.
A city decides to close off a few popular, well-suited streets for everyone just to go out onto them and do their own non-motorized thing.
People ride bikes, push prams and roller-skate.
Very popular! –It’s set up by volunteers in cooperation with a city. Cars are routed by volunteer marshalls around the area involved.
It’s part of making a city more liveable. It’s like a quick, mini, casual party in the streets. People just get to personally and socially enjoy the nice pavement that they’ve bought. A big, wide, smooth, paved area is good for more things than just cars—everyone knows this!
OK, everyone also knows that I’m now going to say “Compare this to Critical Mass.” Well, it’s worth a thought!
