On occasion of the 15th UN Climate Change conference to be held in
Copenhagen, Denmark, we are organizing a bicycle week from 7th- 13th
December 2009. We cordially invite you to participate in the Inaugural
Lecture of the “Bicycle Week”. Prof. Hermann Knoflacher, Head of the
Institute for Transportation Planning & Technology, Vienna, Austria will
deliver his lecture titled “Politics of Climate Change, space for Cycling
and BRT”. Prof. Knoflacher is a world renowned academic and has made
significant contributions that have strengthened the worldwide movement for
sustainable transportation and equitable cities. Knoflacher is well known
for his criticism of excessive automobile usage and its effects on humans
and the environment. On occasion of the inaugural function and through the
bicycle week thereafter, we will raise collective voices to save the world’s
ecology; battle climate chance and demand separate Bicycle lanes in Urban
Infrastructure. We will also demand that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor
should be built and extended in other parts of the National Capital
Territory of Delhi as per the original plan and design.
