- The Cyclist Relay is a project of national scale initiated by the Rotary Club Timisoara and crosses the country till it’s final destination Mangalia.
This project aims to highlight the need to promote the culture of cycling, to encourage local governments to build tracks for the cyclists and to complete the existing ones and to implement the image of road cyclist with the same rights and obligations as other drivers have.
Another important component is to increase the education level of citizens about the participation of cyclists in traffic, something that will have positive repercussions in reducing the number of accidents involving cyclists.
To these are added the urban and economic advantages. Besides the ecological aspect highlighted by the relay, events organized in every city on the route are an opportunity to promote the image of Rotary clubs, to make known our goal, to contribute to community progress, as well as strengthening the ties between Rotarian clubs in the neighbouring towns.
