Hi! I'm Nicolas, French urban planner,
I'm 25. Creator of BiciActivistas.com
Hi! I'm Julian, I'm an Argentine arquitect, CyclActivist!
We are preparing a long bike trip from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro,
Going through Uruguay,
We'll cover a distance of 2800 km in November and December of 2012.
The goal is to meet city representatives and NGOs in various cities,
and study which are the most efficient strategies
to encourage the use of public transportation and cycling,
fighting for environmental protection.
We've always been cyclists,
therefore we've created biciactivistas.com
because there were many conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, car drivers, buses
in the streets of Buenos Aires.
We organize action and awareness campaigns,
so that all the inhabitants understand each other and for them to get around in peace
and with mutual respect.
One of our actions is giving out stickers to people saying "I respect the bike lanes"
We're going to publish videos and articles everyday on our website.
The final production will be a documentary film with our adventures, discoveries, disappointments
and presenting the best strategies for sustainable mobility
that we'll encounter on our way troughout different cities.
We will present our short documentary film once we are back in Buenos Aires
in order to take part in festivals.
We hope to present successful ideas, in order to improve the quality of life in urban areas!
We hope that you can help us,
so that we can make this project real,
and to let you dream with our adventure!
Let's all be CyclActivists!
