Moscow Veloparad

In the course of a very short threads extensive photo-blogger Ilya Varlamov from:

Today in Moscow blocked the Garden Ring, and gave it to the rider. I can not imagine how it was possible to count all the participants, as the end in a huge tower was not visible. The organizers counted 10 000 people. It seems legit. When the head was approaching the finish line, the tail is still not passed halfway! Veloparad uniquely successful. It would be good that such events were held on a weekly basis. For cyclists can cover the embankments, boulevards and the Garden ring. Nothing bad will happen, but it will be a good tradition of the city.

In some cities, such overlap practiced for many years. So, in Bogota, capital of Colombia, since 1976 every Sunday 120 kilometers of city streets for cyclists overlap. This is a great sports city-wide festival, people can run, ride a bike, ride a skateboard or just watch from the sidelines. Every Sunday at this festival involved 2 million people! By the way, the weekly bike ride is considered among the local youth one of the best ways to explore;).

So Moscow has yet to come. We cyclists achieve their!
