Virtual Cycle Rides - Car Free Sunday - Jakarta, Indonesia
The World Car Free Day, which is celebrated on September 22, encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries more often, like in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Every Sunday, when more than 100,000 people (from joggers and cyclists to children on skate scooters, buskers, and even street hawkers throng) take over the 5km stretch of road.
They can breathe easy as the sky, sans pollution, reverts to its natural blue hue, say regulars to the weekly event such as events organizer Eka, who like some Indonesians go by just one name. "Jakarta needs an open space for sporting activities, just like in New York where there's Central Park," he said. "Jakarta doesn't have one… the Central Park here is actually a mall."
