At the end of May in Ukraine took place the all-Ukrainian ”Bikeday 2010“. Thousands of cyclists in different age participated in this event, which started at the same time in Kiev, Lviv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Doneck, Zaporizhia, Luzk, Zhytomyr, Ivano-Frankivsk and other Ukrainian cities. The Bikeday as a bike parade was held to a fourth time. In 2004 the cycling community of Kiev for the first time organized the action ”Bicycling to work“, which transformed eventually into all-Ukrainian bike parade.
The number of participants in the bike parade is increasing from year to year. More and more people in big Ukrainian cities understand and realize that bicycles represent an environment-friendly, economical and healthy alternative to the traditional means of transport. The goal of the event ”Bikeday 2010“ is to popularize the healthy and active life-style. The participants of the Bikeday stand for safety, mutual respect on the roads and for creating civilized conditions for cyclists in Ukraine.
