There will be a bicycle protest in Bucharest tomorrow, 1st of November. Pretty much like a Critical Mass. As far as I know it’s the first thing like this in Bucharest, if not even in Romania. People will gather at the National Theatre in the centre at 6pm, block some street for a few minutes, holding up some signs and then cycle off on the street to the Eroilor park. The aim is to raise awareness about the lack of support for bicyclists from Bucharest city planners (there is almost no support at all) and to show to car drivers that “We are people like you, with the same rights. You have a lot metall around you, make noise and pump fumes into the air – we prefer not to”. More info (in Romanian) at the Incepem mailing list. I will go down to Bucharest if I can organise a bike and post here how it went.
