City Sprint

Cycling in the City

“Cycling in the City” is a new concept in cycling for kids and youth in cities (towns) that have a main square or a suitable area near the center.

With “Cycling in the City” we want to arouse interest in cycling among kids and youth.

Diversity and proximity to the sport are the additional bonuses for the audience, who can follow the race from different areas.
