Yesterday was International Ride to Work Day 2008. The activity is held on 15 October of each year to reduce pollution and global warming.
Newly elected Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin together with artists and private organizations introduced the International Ride to Work Day 2008 event yesterday. More than 800 people turned up in Silom and Sathorn area yesterday for the launch of the activity to campaign for people to ride bicycle to work.
Cyclists gathered at the Lumpini Park and rode to Rama IV and South Sathorn Road. Recently a new bike lane painted in red has appeared on Sathorn Road.

Environmental conservation is also focused in this activity. The event is usually held during 7:00 - 10:00 am based on local time of each country.
The C40 Cities (Large Cities Climate Leadership Group) including Sydney, London, and New York held similar events. Even Bangkok is part of the C40 Cities. The event which is organized by The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), is taking place for the first time in Thailand.
