“Cycling day”
The “Cycling day” is an all-Ukrainian action, which unites thousands of cyclists in a joint bicycle ride in the central streets of their cities. The annual cycling parade collects supporters of two-wheeled transport with the aim of propaganda of a healthy and active way of life and an ecological alternative to a city car, the creation of civilised conditions for cyclists in Ukrainian cities. Participants of the bicycle ride advocate for safety and mutual respect on the roads, the creation of cycle tracks and parking in public places. This action has never been political and is a manifestation of the goodwill of cyclists in Ukraine.
