Car-Free Sundays

Everyday is car free for me!

Too bad everyone else only has one day....

One is better than none for the masses I suppose.

Ride on!

I bought a quart of beer and a quart of oil earlier tonight. I mentioned to the guy at the counter that I wished my car ran on beer; for it would beer cheaper. He remarked that they would just jack up the price of beer! LOL!

I live in a rural area, so riding a bike isn't really an option for me. But I can certainly go without driving on most Sundays. Count me in!

Just do it!!! 21th Century "Revolution"

i wish every day was car-free day :(

get on a bicycle and change your life...change the world

Great idea, but to permanently implement biking/skating/or any non-carbon based, short term method of transportation will require massive infrastructure overhaul. Contemporary techno-industrial society is designed almost exclusively for commuter transportation. That is why we have urban and subsequent suburban sprawl. We should be building our cities up and compressing them, not out and decompressing them. This won't happen though, because the monopolistic powers are far too invested in the current paradigm. The most plausible catalyst that would cause such a shift is some sort of massive upheaval...then maybe we can come together and work towards a better, more sustainable world.

so will there be mass arrests like in NY NY of "critical mass" or because its government sanctioned they'll be allowed to ride their bikes with out fear? this is highly disterbing in the sence that it has to be ok'd by the powers that be before one can ride a bike...

very nice. this is quite encouraging for those cities to be so supportive to these sort of things.

well, i'm off for the day, i'm going to have a cyclovia in my drive way.

bike to work day was on the 15th of may this year

I've ALWAYS wanted to be in a city without cars.
imagine if more people walked around to do their errands, and didnt have to breathe the fumes of our polluting technology.

i think we would feel God a little more.

Let me tell you, here in Detroit, it would be a very unproductive day.

This is a great idea but I bet that there will still be some American motorists complaining that this somehow impeaches their amendment rights! More pedal less petrol!

wouldn't restricting lanes for a certain amount of time cause more traffic for those trying to get to places? especially in metropolitan/urban areas? well I suppose a few hours never hurt anyone.
interesting idea.

I like that idea. I have a feeling if something like that were to happen around here people would be pissed...I would be fine with it, though.

Heh.... How 'bout a no private motorized transportation law for any town under 10,000 residents? Only commercial and public transportation allowed. Towns the size of 30,000 on level terrain is actually quite easy to get around by bike from one end to the other. ^_^

Granted it would be problematic in many ways and require redesigning some things but it's quite feasible. Thought gas and auto companies might not be to happy. XD

I am looking forward to somthing like this in Houston, Texas soon....

I think this is fucking awesome. I don't know about any where else in the world but here in New Mexico our bike lanes are where the street sweeper pushes all the shit off the road, so i just ride on the road with everybody else, nice to know some places are thinking greenish.

It could be a weekly event in certain smaller cities

in Tallahassee, Florida (state capital) we enjoy a critical mass on ultimate Fridays each monthe, the town is filled with bikers, but only a handful make it out to that event. I would love to make a weekly, more family oriented event happen on a regular basis with motorized traffic shut-down to ensure a family-friendly safe environment for children and adults alike to ride on the city streets during the weekly market downtown without fear of getting mowed over by a two ton killing machine, but with so many different municipalities in this town, something like that could be tough.

Awesome! too bad (not really) that i fled Miami years ago and only occasionally look back! this would be one of those occasions.

super!
- ciclovia goes global and stays global!
