Am 20. September 2008 sind wir in der Basler Innenstadt clever unterwegs. Verschiedene Plätze und Strassenstücke stehen an diesem Aktionstag für die saubere, sichere und spassige Mobilität zur Verfügung. Dieses Jahr scheint die Stadt noch nicht ganz reif für ein autofreies Innenstadt-Ypsilon. Wir konnten aber ein grosses Gebiet um die Sankt-Alban-Vorstadt, den Birsigparkplatz, einen Teil der Hammer- und der Drahtzugstrasse für das Strassenfest "erobern". Wir bespielen auch die Claramatte, den Rümelinsplatz und die Rheinterrasse bei der Mittleren Brücke).

Um 12 Uhr findet auf der Rheinterrasse die Eröffnung statt. Hier kann jede/r auf dem 14m hohen SkyBIKE himmelwärts radeln. Auch frisch gewählte GrossrätInnen und RegierungsrätInnen werden für die umweltschonende Mobilität abheben. Hier sind auch alle Infos zu den verschiedenen Aktionen erhältlich und die Stempelkarten für den Stadt-Parcours, der die Festplätze verbindet. Volle Stempelkarten nehmen an einer attraktiven Verlosung teil.

Weitere Highlight des Tages sind: Downhill Skateboard-Ripp am Mühleberg, Liegestuhloase auf der Hammerstrasse, Solarkino auf der Claramatte und ein Strassenfest mit Beizen, Musik, Wasserparcours und Mini-Eisenbahn auf dem Birsigparkplatz.

Von 12 bis 18 Uhr finden Aktionen an den verschiedenen Orten statt. Von 20 bis 23 Uhr zeigt das Solarkino die Filme "The Immigrant" von Charlie Chaplin und den senegalesischen Film "TGV" von Moussa Touré.
