Program

The 6th European Seminar on Velomobile Design takes place Friday, October 16th 2009, 10:00 – 16:00 in a conference room “Fabrikken” in Christiania (http://www.christiania.org/). See the map of the former military barracs area. Christiania is today a site for “alternative living”. Cars are not permitted inside this area, and Christiania has many bicycles. The famous carrier cycle “Christiania Bike” was born here, as well as the “Copenhagen Pedersen”. Christiania has many restaurants and bars.

On Saturday, October 17th, all participants are invited to take part in a demonstration and sightseeing tour through Copenhagen, ending with a press conference.

The tour starts on Rådhuspladsen at 11:00, goes through and around the city, and ends at Israels Plads around 14:00.
