Ciclovía To Arrive In Belfast
The Alliance Party is urging people to get ready for a cycling revolution as Ciclovía is set to arrive in Belfast this weekend.
Ciclovia Belfast will see cyclists of all ages and abilities ride along a car-free route from Botanic Gardens to City Hall on Sunday, 04 October, to showcase cycling.
Ciclovía is a health and community-based initiative which closes a part of a city to traffic, on a given day, for a specific period of time, giving cyclists the opportunity to ride through a traffic-free zone.
Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle said: "We have seen a recent growth in momentum for cycling in in Northern Ireland. We can still see the legacy of the Giro d'Italia in Belfast and I hope Ciclovia enjoys the same success.
"I hope through initiatives such as this, as well as the Belfast public bike hire scheme, we can see a mutual respect growing for cycling and cyclists, and a breakdown of the barriers currently preventing cycling becoming a main mode of transport for many people."
