Sunday 20th April 2008.

These events aim to draw the attention of our society and our decision makers. We would like to involve as many people as possible. In co-operation with Critical Mass we will not only close the streets from car traffic, but we fill the city centre with a variety of events worth visiting.

Városháza Square, Károly Boulevard

19.30 – Csókolom concert

At the end of the day - VECTOR Project with the Hungarian Bicycle Club
We will announce what the UFP content of the air is, and compare this value to that of an average day. Most likely the pollution level will be lower on a day when there are hardly any vehicles on the roads, the main question is by how much. The purpose of the research is to prove how exactly the UFP content affects cyclists.
