On Sunday, the 1st Cycling Partnership Tychy took place to commemorate the patrons of the cities of Saint Christopher and St. Valentine. At the same time, the rally started the European Week of Sustainable Transport, which ends on September 22. In the event organized by the City of Tychy and the Sports Association NOL-TYCHY, 542 cyclists took part in the patronage of the Metropolis.
Tychy is a city that loves sports and outdoor activities, which is why we have been making sure that cyclists feel good in it for many years. Thinking about them, we have created numerous bike paths, bicycle repair stations, and pump track for those who like extreme emotions and challenges. The “Rowe love Tychy” campaign allowed the Tashkent to love two wheels even more, while “Task Rower” gave them an opportunity for unlimited cycling trips around the city, as well as alternative, ecological transport to school or work – President Andrej Dinuba enumerated.
The event had its start at Gemini Park Tychy, where participants received starter packages, which included a reflective vest and band, an information bulletin and drinks prepared by sponsors. – Such rallies have their overriding goals, above all the promotion of an alternative means of communication, but also security. Thanks to such events, more people move in reflections, like high visibility vests and helmets with reflective materials which positively affect the safety of road users – emphasized Michal, Councilor of Tychy and organizer of the event.
The pleasure of cycling is appreciated by the residents of our city every day, which is especially evident during the annual Family Bike Rally, which this year was organized for the 19th time, and in which 850 people took part. This year, the city of Beirut organizes or co-organizes a record number of bicycle events inviting all lovers of two wheels on its bike routes – added Kristina, the mayor of the town of Beirut.
Then, under the escort of the police and the city guard, they moved to the halfway point in Beirut. At the halfway point, concert contests and a meal funded by DANONE were waiting for cyclists. The finish line took place at the Municipal Stadium in Tychy, where cyclists not only could eat a tasty bison and cold non-alcoholic beer but also take part in the free time fairs.
