All-Ukrainian Bicycle day in Sumy, May/2017. Choose a healthy lifestyle!

This year I, along with my husband and child took part in a bike day in our hometown and I want to share with you my impressions.
Traditionally, in the last days of May in many cities of Ukraine are held Bicycle days to promote this type of transport and lifestyle.

A few hundred of Sumy velo-fans gathered in the parking provided to them for this purpose by one of the trade center

and then ride a few miles on the main streets of the city.

My son Mike as a child was participated passively, sitting in a baby bike seat (a great invention!).
It was nice to see that children a little older than he, were riding on their child bicycles in the main column next to their parents like this boy was.

I think, it's just wonderful that the older generation tries to pass on to children the love to Cycling. Don't know about others, but I would be happy if my child had such a passion and accompanied us in our rides.
This event was not a competition and not a race of speed to determine the winner. It was an opportunity to meet old friends

and to know new people who share the similar interests

The main purpose of the annual day of Cycling is to promote healthy lifestyle, recreation and attract the attention of the authorities to the problems of cyclists as road users. The participants of the Bicycle-run in Sumy stand for security and mutual respect on the roads, creation of Bicycle paths and Bicycle Parking facilities in public places, showing everyone that the Bicycle is an environmental alternative to urban transport.
We were there and here is a proof

I'm glad to be a member of Bike-division and take part in this event. And what about you? How do you feel about cycling?
