A virtual world cycling festival
To mark World Bicycle Day, the International Cycling Union (UCI) is partnering with MyWhoosh to organize a 24-hour global celebration on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. This initiative invites cyclists of all levels to connect on the MyWhoosh platform and pedal virtually in tribute to cycling, a sport that unites enthusiasts around the world.
24 hours, 6 routes, a unique celebration
From 00:00 to 23:59 UTC, the World Bicycle Day Ride event will feature virtual rides on six diverse routes inspired by iconic locations. Each hour, a new ride will begin on one of the routes, and each route will be available four times over the course of 24 hours. This means cyclists from around the world can participate at a time that suits them, regardless of their time zone.
Here are the six courses on the program:
Hudayriat Octopus Loop (Hudayriat): 28 km, 40 m elevation gain
City Loop (Australia): 25,7 km, 256 m elevation gain
