VIDEO: Prague-Based Bicycle Manufacturer Encourages People to Ride Alone

Festka realized an impactful video appeal for cyclists to respect the Coronavirus restrictions The recent warm and sunny weather lures cyclists out and the breaking curves representing the numbers of infected in the Czech Republic and several other countries breed optimism. The temptation to take off face-masks and organize a group ride gets stronger every day. Festka, the Prague based manufacturer of top-end bicycle frames, decided to contribute to the debate about the easing of restrictions and the personal responsibility of the individual.   The company asked a team of its long term collaborators in the area of film and photography to make a short video in which it wants to appeal to cyclists to keep on respecting the restrictions, ride alone and not gather in popular spots. “Noticing the growing number of groups of cyclists, runners, and walkers, I was disappointed to see people flaunt the rules on social distancing. I approached our filmmaking friends and we made a video which appeals to cyclists to respect the restrictions in order for us all to be able to ride together again soon,” says Michael Moureček, the Festka co-founder and a former pro cyclist, adding: “As lovers of cycling we completely...

The Botanical Garden in Prague Reopens. Visitors Must Wear Face Masks

If you want to experience an oasis of calm just a bus ride away from the bustling city center, Prague Botanical garden is a great choice. Located in the vicinity of the Prague Zoo, in the Troja basin, Botanical Garden has been growing significantly since its opening. Prague city, in agreement with the Ministry of Health, reopened the outdoor exhibitions in the Botanical Garden in Troja on Monday. However, people must respect strict sanitary measures. However, all indoor expositions, including the tropical greenhouse Fata Morgana, remain closed. Open-air expositions cover an area of nearly 25 hectares.

American Expat in Prague Buys Billboard to Thank Healthcare Staff

In this time of unprecedented crisis, there are so many inspiring stories of people going above and beyond. Tireless healthcare workers and those on the frontline, neighbours looking out for one another, friends delivering meals to those in need, and supermarket stackers working literally around-the-clock. An American expat living in Prague (with the precious help of his daughter) recently decided to do its part and thank health care professionals, police, firefighters, and emergency services buying a billboard near Motol Hospital. “The idea sprang up one morning when I drove my daughter Eva Lily to her grandmothers where she would be tending to her homeschooling.  After flashing my lights at a bus to allow him to merge in front of me, he flipped on his flashers to say ‘thank you’, says Dean Bedford. “We later pulled up beside him in a turn lane waiting for the light to turn green. I turned to the driver who was wearing a face mask, and caught his attention. I balled my right hand to a fist, bounced it above my heart twice and then threw him the Peace Sign.  As my daughter Eva Lily stated as we turned light on the green light, ‘Daddy...

Chinese Activist Art Has Reached Prague

By Maximilian Colloredo-Mansfeld—Anglo American University The COVID-19 (Corona-virus) started in Wuhan (Hubei), China, in late 2019 apparently from a mutated animal virus. Before the lockdown of the city of Wuhan and the Hubei province, the disease was not considered such a danger by the Chinese government, and even though necessary measures were eventually taken, it was too late and a pandemic soon struck globally, reaching Prague in March. Badiucao, a suddenly famous Chinese human-rights activist and political caricaturist,  who is exiled from China, but with his family still there in danger because of the strict Chinese government, has since mid-March also put up posters throughout Prague in an attempt to protest how the Chinese government has handled this situation.  Badiucao was born in 1986 in the outskirts of Shanghai and, after Ai Weiwei, he is today becoming one of the most famous activist artists coming from China. Since he started with his rebellious caricatures career back in 2011, he has been featured in CNN, BBC, and Amnesty International, to name a few. And while his exhibitions travel throughout the world, criticizing China for their actions against human rights, he and his family are naturally under constant threat from the Chinese...
