World Carfree Day, 22nd September

I wonder if riding the bike (no, not the pedal kind) is against the
spirit of the event ?

Did you read the article in Drive today too?

Surely this organisation would have to rate motorbikes pretty high up in
their "alternatives to cars" list. I mean, public transport is not an
option for a lot of people, and neither is cycling or walking for those
who live too far away from work, clients, etc. In these cases
motorcycling is quite a valid alternative and has many environmental
advantages over a car.

If worldcarfree is a reasonable organisation, then I can't see how
they'd say motorcycles were against the spirit of the event.

Well, according to the adverts, Carefree IS the brand to use if riding a
bike.

 

I read it as "Carefree day' and I thought it was a **** of an idea!
