On the occasion of National Bike Day, a program entirely dedicated to promoting soft modes of transportation is being offered: cyclosportive hiking, criterium, urban biking, mountain biking on a Pump Track, demonstrations, as well as association stands and free activities for children.
On this themed day, the CROS (Regional Olympic and Sports Committee) will officially present the City of Nice with the “PACA Sports City” label in recognition of all the efforts made by the City to widely promote the development of health-sport and the strong dynamics of local associations!
