In recognition of WCD 2009, Kalapie, the Urban Cyclists Association of San Sebastián, as in previous years, offered snacks, bicycle bells, red lights and reflective bracelets on the bikeway during this warm September day to all urban cyclists. The objective was to promote cycling as a means of daily transport and reduce car use. There was food and drink on offer to the cyclists, and there were information stalls about cycling in the city. San Sebastián is a city in Spain which has the lowest percentage of cyclists, not amounting to more than 3%. One of the biggest problems the city faces in increasing its number of bike users is the struggle to secure safe connections for cyclists to enter and exit the city.
