BICYCLE PARADE GATHERS 1,000 PEOPLE

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Last weekend on October 18 a "Sporty Ulaanbaatar" event gathered all generations of people at the central square of the city. Some 1,000 of them organized a bicycle parade. The action ran in frames of the campaign “Alcohol or Sport?" initiated by the Mongolian Union of Youth in 2012. Before beginning the parade, the Union representatives presented their project of building 21km bicycle road, jointly with the “Street” project. They also said it will now become possible to ride bicycle on ice of the Tuul river. In support of this action, Orkhon aimag held the same parade a day after commissioning its new bicycle road. Other matches such as football and basketball, tug-of-war, volleyball, traditional games, chess tournament and marathon ran on the “Sporty Ulaanbaatar” event.
