Bike Day will celebrate its 24th edition on January 28

Vila Joiosa Town Council and the Xoriguer Ecologist Group sign an agreement to organize this sports day that brings together thousands of bicycle enthusiasts and claims its use in the municipality.

 

Bike Day is being celebrated again in Vila Joiosa. This popular sports day will be organised next Sunday, January 28, which aims to promote the use of bicycles among citizens. The Xoriguer Ecological Group and the Sports Council have signed an agreement to carry out this initiative in which thousands of cycling fans are expected to participate.
 
The well-established Bike Day has been celebrated since 1986, but this year marks its 24th edition. The route will start at 10 am from the street market and will cover approximately 10 kilometers through different neighbourhoods and parts of the municipality. Registrations can be made from January 17 at Carrer Constitució, number 44, with a price of 5 euros, which includes refreshments, t-shirt, participation in a raffle and insurance coverage. 
 
The representative of Xoriguer, Jaume Vaello, explains that the aim of this initiative is "to promote the daily use of the bicycle as a means of transport among families, as well as the creation and maintenance of bike lanes and specific parking lots in the municipal term, at the same time that awareness of road safety is formed among the users of this sustainable and environmentally friendly vehicle".
 
For his part, the Councilor for Sports, Peyo Lloret, encourages all citizens to participate in this day in which "we will resume this activity so rooted in Vila Joiosa that will allow the villagers to once again enjoy a day of coexistence around the bicycle and share a healthy route through different areas of the municipality without traffic".
