Newcastle is not alone!!! - Berlin to demonstrate for more cycle lanes!!!


Motivation: Newcastle is not alone in the struggle!!!

Everything is in German! - but, here is a quick translation in English:

"On the third June 2012 is the 36th in Berlin and Brandenburg Bike Rally will be held. The rally under the slogan "Berlin in the wheel tracks," is the largest global bicycle demonstration!

On 19 routes - see the routes here - the cyclists from the Berlin area and via Avus motorway Südring will cycle to the Great Star. The rally ends against 14 clock during the traditional festival environment of the Green League at the Brandenburg Gate.

With this year's slogan "Berlin on the cycle lane!" We demonstrate for more cycle lanes on main roads and set them to be kept free for cyclists traffic areas provided for such use. Again and again be provided for cyclists strip - regardless of composition and labeling - misused for parking motor vehicles. For cyclists this create dangerous situations, sometimes ending fatally. Even in cases of massive parking on these tracks, the authorities rarely take action because they think they see no immediate threat of traffic."

Greetings from Berlin - here is the website for the event: http://www.adfc-berlin.de/aktionenprojekte/sternfahrt/sternfahrt-2012/1159.html

Cheers!
