promoting tolerance and acceptance in the community, and for Bistrica having its own cultural center (located in the area of the former seat of the Podunavlje municipality). The "Novosadska biciklistička inicijativa" (Novi Sad Cycling Initiative), formed in 18 September 2011, would hold an annual bicycle rally called "Novosadska Kritična masa" (Novi Sad Critical Mass). The bicycle rally paths would often go through or at the edges of Bistrica neighborhood, allowing locals from all walks of life and age ranges to participate in the event. The rally and other such bike related events are done for the goal of the promotion and development of urban cycling, as well as promoting and educating a culture of safe traffic and tolerance among road users. The "Za zeleno Novo naselje" (For Green Novo Naselje) group was formed by Bistrica locals in 2015. Since then, goal of the group is to protect the remaining green spaces located in the Bistrica neighborhood from rapid urban development, as well for better and more humane quality of living for all citizens. They achieve this through activism, petitions, and spreading awareness about local issues. The group also corresponds with other similar ecological movements around the city, such as the "Dunavac-Sordoš Informal citizen initiative". Cuisine The neighborhood has numerous privately owned bakeries, restaurants, and cafes, showcasing typical Serbian and international food and drinks. Most notable ones are Cafe-pizzeria "Alo" (opened since 1984) in Bate Brkića 24, Cafe-pizzeria "Gambriano" (opened since 2001) in Stojana Novakovića 29, and "Štrafta" Fast Food (opened since 2017) in Slobodana Jovanovića 18.
