More and more people living in cities do not own a car anymore as they prefer public transport. At the forefront of this trend is Zurich with its amazing public transport system. With the decline of car-ownership more and more people rely on bicycles. Sometimes this leads to a confrontation between trams, cars and bicycles and all participants dream of a peaceful co-existence. Well, once a year this dream comes true when gentleman and ladies mount their classic bicycles and cruise in style through Zurich. And it is only on this day when car drivers stop and smile at the bicyclists. One lady asked me if this was a wedding (no, the Gentlemen’s Run). Another teenager commented that we were like ‘green’ Hells Angels. Why not?
