Budapest cyclists pedal for better roads
Budapest, April 23 (MTI) – The Hungarian “I Bike Budapest” pro-cycling movement started its awareness-raising march on Saturday afternoon.
The parade started at 3pm from Fovam ter, by the Danube on the city’s eastern side, and will make a big circle round the city following a route by the embankment, touching Heroes’ square in the north-east and back to the city centre before crossing over a bridge to the western side and ending up on Margaret island. The four-hour ride will be secured by police and many roads will be shut down to motorists.
The organising bicycle confredation Magyar Kerékpárosklub said earlier that the event aims to create a “friendly atmosphere” for cycling in the city as well as calling attention to cycling as an environmentally friendly and potentially fast means of transport in the city.
