Sharjah24: Sharjah celebrated World Bicycle Day with a community sports event, marking its sixth edition on Sunday, June 1, along the Al Hira Corniche. The event saw participation from 500 athletes of both genders, with a diverse range of participants and many families eager to join and watch. Among the attendees were Ahmed Al Qusair, Director of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), and Bakhit Saeed Al Qars, Director of Sports and Community Events at the Sharjah Sports Council.

Special activities for children

Children particularly enjoyed the event, as a special area was designated for participants under the age of 7. The two-hour event was a success, thanks to the effective coordination between the Sharjah Sports Council, the UAE Cycling Federation, and Strider.

Community spirit and participation

Bakhit Al Qars praised the community event, stating that it has become an annual occasion eagerly awaited by cycling enthusiasts in Sharjah. He emphasized that participation was the main focus, regardless of winning or losing, which is often the case in official races where competition is fierce. He appreciated the enthusiasm of the participants and the family atmosphere that prevailed throughout the event.

Commemorative medals

Medals were distributed to all participants, designed in the shape of a bicycle, featuring a map of the world to commemorate World Bicycle Day, a unique element since the first edition.
