Cairgo Bike chat

One comes across quite some things on the roads in Brussels. This morning on my way to work, I ran into our baker from around the corner. She was in a rush to get extra coffee for her business. From Bois de la Cambre in Uccle to the heart of the city of Brussels. It turned out to be the ideal moment for a two by two-wheeled chat.

On the morning of 12 May, several campaign groups and organizations presented a cake to the European Commission as a playful action to "congratulate" it on the seventh anniversary of the launch proceedings against the Belgian government over poor air quality.

We hope that the information will live on after the conference, so don’t hesitate to view, review and share the different presentations.
