Bikes for Madrid: yes we can!

Madrid is slowly setting down the whole "bike for the city" infrastructure that the spanish capital was lacking. And most of the improvement that you can see in its streets in the last 3 years is mainly there thanks to amazing and active citizens who, tired of the car as the only alternative of transportation in downtown, decided to together and take action to achieve a more sustainable Futuro madrileño.

One of the supercool initiatives that have been working quite well is the festival con b de Bici, which is a whole day of activities : workshops, concerts, nice food and charming people hanging out together –with things for kids and parents in equal measure- around the bike culture. Lots of bikes and nice people and good vibes.


We also want to mention that is  the team of Viernes, a fantastic dynamo of public actions focused on changing the city for good, and its association b de Viernes, are the founders of this amazing festival. Each year, during the summer at El Matadero, don’t miss it!
