World Bicycle Forum - call for proposals

Hey carfree-ists,

The World Bicycle Forum <http://fmb4.org> was created in Brazil in 2012 as
a response to the "trampling"
<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/03/world/americas/03brazil.html?_r=0> of
the Critical Mass ride in Porto Alegre the year before.

The event has grown every year and brings together activists, advocates,
and artists. It is organized 100% by volunteers from all over the world. I
went to the one in Curitiba earlier this year. It was huge, and inspiring,
and truly felt like the successor to the Towards Carfree Cities conference.
This is where the global movement is happening now to transform our cities
and do away with cars peacefully and democratically.

In 2015 the Forum will leave Brazil and be held in Medellin, Colombia. I
invite you all to come, and to spread the word.

Here is the call for submissions: http://fmb4.org/site/?page_id=15075

And I am happy to provide press releases in English, Portuguese, and
Spanish. Please contact me if you'd like those. And spread the word far and
wide!

Thanks,
Elly
