The 195th Congress of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) was held in Montreal, Canada, bringing together representatives of 117 national cycling federations from around the world.
As one of the key events in the international cycling community, the Congress addressed a range of issues, including initiatives aimed at promoting the global development of cycling as both a sport and a cultural practice.
During the event, a special video featuring celebrations of World Bicycle Day, observed on 3 June, in various countries around the world was screened.
Particular attention was drawn to the fact that the opening footage of the video featured World Bicycle Day celebrations held in Baku. The inclusion of these images at the beginning of the video and their presentation at one of the most prominent events in the global cycling community can be seen as recognition of the efforts undertaken to promote and develop cycling in Azerbaijan.
It should be recalled that this year, to mark World Bicycle Day on 3 June, a series of events were organized in Baku and other cities and districts across Azerbaijan. The initiatives aimed to promote cycling, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and increase the use of environmentally friendly modes of transport.
