The 'Bicicletada' is a movement started in 1998 in San Fransico with spread out to Brazil, Portugal and recently Mocambique. Inspired in the Critical Mass, where cyclists join to claim their space in the streets. The principal objectives of the Bicicletada are to promote the use of the bicycle as a means of transport, to create favorable conditions for the use of this vehicle and to turn the system of transport into a more ecological and sustainable system, first of all in the urban environment.
