The seasonal Critical Mass bicycle demonstration has been cancelled by the organizers. They say it would aggravate the terrible traffic conditions of the city.
In Debrecen, the local organization of the Hungarian Bikers’ Club organizes the bicycle demonstration twice a year: on 22 April (Earth Day) and on 22 September, that is European Car Free Day. In this year, the latter one has been cancelled because of the building works of the second tram line.
As Edit Hevesi, leader of the local bikers’ club says, the building works of the new tram line has created challanging situtations in the city traffic, so they don’t want to make it worse by the bicycle demonstration.
Anyway, there are other programs of European Mobility Week in Debrecen.
