Residents of the edge of the capital have made the evening a route length of almost 20 kilometers on bicycles. In the course of it they will not only ride, but also conquered the hill. Thus, it was opened “pokatushki evening.”
Two dozen cyclists with reflective vest gathered after work near the “Platinum Arena”. Selecting the location – it is almost a tradition. The assembled athletes, while waiting for the others, had a workout.
– Time chosen specially the evening, after work so that people can participate in the race. For I have chosen the route traveled last week, so I knew that it is safe, – the organizer Nikolai.
All present were dressed in clothes is not purged, and their “iron horses” prepared for the night-time hours.
– We have everything spelled out traffic rules. Reflectors on the wheels, the back of the bike mounted red svetoispuskatel and front – running light and spotlight. And plus various reflective elements: someone wearing a safety vest, someone tacked strip, – said Alexander cycle race participant.
The route ran through velolyubiteley Railway station, Voronezh highway, on the road, “the East.” Here they have climbed to the hill where the camp staged with hot tea in a thermos and a light snack: who took it. Then the guys take pictures themselves and night views. Rounding out the route is near the shopping center “Big Dipper”.
– Personally for me the distance of 20 kilometers – this is the minimum standard. However, many do not ride in the winter, including me, so to start this distance will be just right. On the way was a stop on a hill, on which we wearing reflective clothing climbed up and take pictures – it is a tradition – Alexander added.
The full opening of velosezona in Khabarovsk will be held on 24 April. Organizers plan to collect about 500 people.
