‘Suits on Bikes’ is an event essential for anyone interested in the sustainable development of our cities’ transport infrastructure. This September the event will be taking place in Łódź for the first time. Those who live and work in the city are encouraged to cycle to the office on that day, after which we hope that they will also join our ride around the city centre after office hours. If you do not have your own bicycle, we can provide you with a city bike. The ‘Suits on Bikes’ cycle ride is also combined with a discussion about urban space – in which we will talk about the cycling infrastructure, transport, spatial planning and architecture in terms of the needs of cyclists and other issues related to getting around the city. ‘Suits on Bikes’ is an attempt to answer such questions as in which the direction the city is developing and whether it is becoming more resident-friendly.
We especially recommend the event to those who have been thinking about switching to cycling to work but are still unsure about taking this step. Our partners will be on hand to stress the advantages of going to work on your bike and to make the case for cycling as a safe and economical way of getting around the city. Regular cyclists are also invited to recount their experiences and provide invaluable insights and observations from their daily rides around the city. ‘Suits on Bikes’ provides a crucial opportunity for dialogue between the fields and communities that shape cities, such as city councillors and developers as well as the activists campaigning for improvements in cycling infrastructure in cities.
