ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

Abu Dhabi Cycling Club has announced the adoption of comprehensive strategic plans aimed at promoting cycling among community members, and expanding the base of participants across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The initiative will be implemented through the organisation of community rides throughout the season in various areas of the emirate, while leveraging the advanced cycling infrastructure available in Abu Dhabi.

The club explained that the past period witnessed the organisation of several community rides that attracted broad participation from both citizens and residents.

He added that the club is committed to providing a safe and motivating sporting environment for all members of the community by offering bicycles and safety equipment free of charge. This approach helps foster a culture of physical activity and encourages the adoption of healthy and sustainable lifestyles.

Al Khaili also praised the ongoing cooperation with government and private-sector entities in Abu Dhabi, describing it as a key pillar in the success of community initiatives, the expansion of their reach, and engagement with diverse segments of society. He noted that all club members actively participate in these events in support of the community.
