Urban bicycle Round trip of one þingmannaleið (37,5 km) from the Alþingi to the Stupa of Kópavogur and back on Saturday, October 3rd (meeting at 10:00 AM in front of the Althingi at Austurvöllur), to mark the International Day of Non-Violence (which falls on October 2nd, Gandhi's birthday). More information on the itinerary on Outdooractive: https://www.outdooractive.com/it/route/bicicletta/iceland/international-day-of-non-violence-hiking-for-peace-iceland-202610-02-03-/353272572/?share=%7E3senyheg%244ossgboa. The event is organized by the "Hiking for Peace - Iceland" association, which is affiliated with the international "Hiking for Peace" organization based in Vienna, Austria (www.hikingforpeace.org). It is a circular urban bicycle ride that starts and ends at the Althingi, traveling to the Kópavogur Stupa (https://vefir.mms.is/truarbrogd/budda/taknhelgirdomar/buddaTaknStupur.htm). The route covers a distance of 37.5 km, equivalent to a "þingmannaleið" - an ancient unit of measurement describing the distance a traveler would cover in a single day on a long journey, specifically the path taken by those traveling to the Althing parliamentary assembly at Þingvellir (see *Hrafnkels saga Freysgoða*, p. 1131; cf. https://old-norwegian-dictionary.vercel.app/word/thingmannaleid).

This event proposes an Icelandic way of calling for peace today, in a Europe increasingly dominated by violence.
