Belgrade Celebrates World Bicycle Day 2024 with Health and Nature in Focus
Belgrade, 1 June 2024 – Several hundred cyclists gathered in Belgrade to mark World Bicycle Day for the 4th time since this observance was established.
This year's theme, "Your Pedal, Your Health, Your Nature," emphasized the environmental and health benefits of cycling. As an energy-efficient mode of transportation, bicycles produce no pollution, have a minimal ecological footprint, and generate negligible noise. By promoting cycling, the organizers aimed to demonstrate how individuals can contribute to a healthier environment and improve their personal well-being.
Participants embarked on a scenic ride through the city. The route started at Pioneer Park, traversed through the heart of Belgrade to New Belgrade, crossed the Branko Bridge, and concluded at the plateau near Nebojša Tower. The day ended with a festive picnic by the Danube, featuring music, games, and a shared passion for cycling.
The event was organized by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Serbia, NGO Streets for Cyclists, and the United Nations in Serbia.
