This event is part of European Mobility Week, which promotes sustainable ways of moving and reducing the use of cars in urban areas.
The cycling program starts at 10:00 a.m. on the Lenin Promenade, where a training ground for children will be organized. The youngest will have the opportunity to show their cycling skills in a safe and fun environment, with the guidance and support of experienced club members. In addition to the training ground, the organizers, with the support of the EU Info Center, provided rich prizes for the participants, which will further enrich this sports-educational gathering.
The Mostar bicycle race starts at 11:00 a.m. and is driven along a well-known and established route through the city of Mostar. The bike ride offers participants the opportunity to ride together, in large numbers, on key city roads, promoting cycling as a healthy and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. You can view the cycling route on the website of the HerzegovinaBike association.
After the bike ride through the city, the Mostar Cycling Club invites all participants to bike to the Mostar lake, where the club members will provide food and drinks along with the opportunity to socialize. This final part of the event provides the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy nature, with all cycling lovers getting together. The organizers would like to thank the MUP HNŽ for supporting the project and ensuring the safety of all cyclists during the event.
Mostar's cycling event has already become a recognizable event in the city, gathering cycling enthusiasts, recreationists and all those who support a healthy lifestyle and sustainable development. This year, the organizers expect an even greater turnout of citizens of all age groups, in order to jointly mark the Car Free Day and send a strong message about the importance of preserving the environment and promoting cycling as an alternative form of transportation.
President of the HerzegovinaBike association, Toni Zorić", saidWith this bicycle event, we not only want to promote a healthy lifestyle and sustainable development, but also to point out the need for bicycle paths in the city of Mostar. Our vision is that children can cycle safely to school and home every day, instead of exposing themselves to the dangers of riding on main roads, maneuvering between cars or riding on sidewalks where they endanger pedestrians. It's time for the city of Mostar to get its own bike lanes, following the example of other developed European capitals, because our children and the city of Mostar deserve it!"
The organizers point out that the goal of this cycling event is not only to promote cycling as a healthy and environmentally friendly mode of transport, but also to raise awareness of the need to create safer conditions for cyclists in the city. We invite all citizens of Mostar and the surrounding area to join this important event and celebrate the European Mobility Week with us in the most beautiful way possible - by riding a bicycle through Mostar.
