"Vozi pravo, vozi zdravo" 9th edition with a new record number of attendees

A long yellow row of smiling faces on bicycles, scooters, rollerblades, roller skates, baby strollers and other means of transport that don't pollute yesterday afternoon flowed through the streets of Skopje city center.

Stopanska banka organized the ninth edition of "Vozi pravo, vozi zdravo," promoting healthy lifestyles and bicycle culture, with approximately 9,000 citizens of various ages participating.

This year's event registered a record number of participants that exceeded planned capacity within the first two days of registration opening.

Attendees enjoyed refreshments, entertainment from DJ Ivan and the Pet+ family, mini-football, archery, tug-of-war, stilt performances, and a graffiti artist creating children's favorite characters.

Winners of the lottery draw received nine Specialized bicycles plus one electric bicycle, nine Garmin watches plus one electric scooter, nine bicycle sets with helmets and glasses, plus additional vouchers and gifts.

The initiative, launched by Stopanska banka over a decade ago, results in donations supporting urban cycling development projects following each event edition.

This year's donation will fund construction of a children's bike park in Kochani to develop healthy habits and cycling culture among local youth.
