On the 22th of september 2009 the Swedish environmental action group [http://klimatet.org Klimax], the 40 years old environmental and urban planning organization [http://alternativstad.nu Alternativ Stad (=Alternative City)] and the public transport activists in [http://planka.nu Planka.nu] are creating a car free zone in the center of Stockholm. The action is also a protest against all the new road projects like Förbifart Stockholm and Södertörnsleden which are planned in the Stockholm area. Our demand is investments in public transport instead of more crazy road projects!
-
'''Location:''' Hosok tere (Heros square) at 18:30 and Moszkva ter at 20:00
+
Time and localisation for the action is 22/9, shortly before 5 PM at the crossroad of Sergels torg and Hamngatan in the center of Stockholm.
-
'''Events planned so far:''' This time, there will not be the traditional 2 hour long ride all together, but there will be two seperate occasions for gathering all together and raising the bikes over the heads. Between these two events, everyone can cycle any where they want to. The idea is to fill the streets with cyclists.

Join us! Together we create a social space without noise and air pollusion!
