Une Journée Sans Voitures
Sunday, September 25, 2011
Once a year, Brussels does this incredibly bizzare thing. To limit pollution, all cars are banned in the city for an entire day. (Well, you know, minus Ambulances and stuff.) Its absolutely insane!
I had just barely managed to wrap my Small-Town-Mind around the idea of cars being everywhere, then suddenly the cars were gone and they were replaced by bikes, rollerblades, and even horses!
It was absolutely insane. We went for a ride on our bikes through the city, and it was the wierdest feeling to be able to just ride your bike in the middle of the road without worrying about being squished. I absolutely loved it. Once again I say, why hasn't America caught on to this wonderful idea? We could learn a thing or two from these Belgians.
