On Friday, there will be a bicycle demonstration of the climate protection movement "Fridays for Future" in Bonn. The event, which organisers expect 500 participants to attend, will begin at 1 p.m. in the Hofgarten. From there the demonstrators want to go by bicycle after a short detour over the Kennedy Bridge to Bonn-Beuel and along the banks of the Rhine to the World Conference Centre. Afterwards, they will return to the Hofgarten via the B9. The end of the event is planned for 4 pm.
