Udruga za promociju biciklizma “Hercegovina Bicikl” and Cycling Club Mostar u suradnji sa Sports Association of the City of Mostar, te više biciklističkih klubova iz BiH i Hrvatske od 28.04. do 02.05. ove godine organiziraju Desetu po redu Međunarodnu biciklističku karavanu prijateljstva Mostar – Vukovar 2022.
Nakon dvije godine “korona pauze” biciklisti će ponovo spojiti gradove Mostar i Vukovar, a za organizaciju ovakve nesvakidašnje manifestacije ima više razloga. Karavanom se također želi odati počast svim žrtvama u Hrvatskoj i BiH koji su položili svoje živote za obranu svojih stoljetnjih ognjišta, a posebice žrtvama Vukovara u kojemu je tijekom tromjesečne opsade poginulo oko 3.500 osoba, od čega više od tisuću civila, te obilježavanje godišnjice od ubojstva 12 hrvatskih redarstvenika u Borovu selu (današnje Borovo) pokraj Vukovara.
Također, jedan od razloga je i nastavak prijateljskih odnosa između BiH i Hrvatske te Grada Mostara i Grada Vukovara koji su gradovi prijatelji. Biciklističkom karavanom želimo ujedno povezati ta dva ratom napaćena i izmučena grada, čija se sudbina umogočemu promijenila kao posjjedica ratnih događanja. Karavanom želimo isplesti niti prijateljstva između dvije države i dva grada te u naša sjećanja trajno urezati opomenu da se nikad ne zaboravi i to prenijeti generacijama koje dolaze. U tu nit želimo povezati i druga mjesta u BiH i Hrvatskoj koja su osjetila ratna stradanja, a kroz koja će karavana prolaziti.
Biciklistička karavana prijateljstva trajat će pet dana, a sastojat će se od četiri etape ukupne dužine više oko 500 kilometara. Karavana će kretati pravcem Mostar – Kiseljak – Žepče – Orašje – Županja –Vukovar. Vozit će se magistralnim i županijskim cestama. Biciklističku karavanu osiguravat će policijska pratnja,a u pratnji će biti i kombi vozilo koji će prevoziti hranu, piće i druge potrepštine za sudionike biciklijade.

Members of the organizers' clubs and all other athletes have priority in participating in the caravan, but due to easier and better organization of activities, the number of participants is limited. The total number of participants in the bicycle ride is 40 participants, who must provide themselves with an adequate bicycle. Each participant signs a written application, i.e. a declaration of participation in the caravan, and for those under the age of 18, a guardian signs it. Participants under the age of 16 can only participate accompanied by their guardian/chaperone.
In addition to the cyclist participants, there will be around a few companions, two of which will be official vehicles that would accompany them along the entire route while the activity lasts.
