Fancy Women Bike Ride was held for the first time in 2013 in Izmir, Turkey to draw attention to World Car Free Day. This event was created by Sema Gur as a Facebook event and reached many women by word of mouth; 300 women participated to the bicycle tour. Women dressed in their most beautiful clothes, decorating their bikes with flowers and ribbons gathered in the city center and after a 3 km bike ride at a slow pace, they made a press statement and requested “the smell of perfume in cities instead of the smell of exhaust”.

In 2014 thanks to the national and international media coverage the second edition of the event is hosted also in other two cities contemporary. In Izmir there were more than 500 women on their bikes.
