Organized by “Lepota i zdravlje” magazine, Novi Sad’s Cycling Initiative, and citizens’ association “Shelter of life”, yesterday for the third year in a row the event “NS Bike Weekend” was held, gathering a huge crowd of cycling fans of all ages.
The event’s programme kicked off at 5 PM when cyclists, after enrollment, left their contribution but also their data in order to take part in the prize-winning game. In the aftermath of their exciting ride, on a route eight kilometers long, the lucky winners were drawn and they were granted the prizes. Refreshments provided by “Coca-Cola” waited for the participants both at the start line and at the finish line.
Three gift cards with 10.000 dinars for purchase at “Sport Vision” stores went to the hands of three ladies, whereas the men won 7-day accommodation at Kopaonik and Jahorina. Consoling prizes, packs by “Coca-Cola” went to the hands of another three cyclists, and this marked the end of the official part of the programme. With the wish and idea to show through examples that Novi Sad really is the city of cycling, but also the city of cordial and noble people, this year the organizers gave a humanitarian note to the group recreational ride, taking into account that within the project also donations were collected to help a young Novi Sad citizen Teodora Milić to get medical treatment.
