World Car Free Day
September 22, 2010 – All Day
Everywhere
Every September 22, people from around the world get together in the streets, intersections, and neighbourhood blocks to remind the world that we don't have to accept our car-dominated society.
But we do not want just one day of celebration and then a return to "normal" life. When people get out of their cars, they should stay out of their cars. It is up to us, it is up to our cities, and our governments to help create permanent change to benefit pedestrians, cyclists, and other people who do not drive cars.
Let World Carfree Day be a showcase for just how our cities might look like, feel like, and sound like without cars…365 days a year.
As the climate heats up, World Carfree Day is the perfect time to take the heat off the planet, and put it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling, walking and public transport, instead of to the automobile.
So take the time, browse the links and resources provided, and join in on the celebrations!

World's Greatest Bike Parade
October 3, 2010 – 10:00 a.m.
Davis, CA
Get ready for the most extraordinary bicycle adventure ever launched in the City of Davis. On Sunday, October 3, 2010, the citizens of Davis will pedal through history to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Parade of Bicycles.
Breaking the Guinness World Record starts with finding a suitable parade route. The rules for the Largest Parade of Bicycles are specific. To break the record, our parade route must be 2 miles from start to finish. Our team of Odd Fellows worked side-by-side with representatives from the City of Davis, the Davis Downtown Business Association, and the Davis Chamber of Commerce to select a parade route that will showcase Davis, CA as the "bicycling capital" of the United States and the home of the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame.
