The Malta National Bicycle Ride will be held next Sunday 21st September on Independence Day.  The event is organized under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Malta.  Registration for this event is a donation of €10 in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund. 

Registration will open on the day at 3pm in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure’s car park in Belt is-Sebh, Floriana.

On registration, participants will be presented with a commemorative t-shirt and through their registration they will also participate in a lottery giving them the chance to win one of three pedelecs (bicycles where the rider's pedalling is assisted by a small electric motor).

The bicycle ride will leave at 4pm from the same car park.  Cyclists will be accompanied by a fleet of electric vehicles while passing through several locations until the route reaches its end at 18.00 at St George's Square, Valletta where Presdient Marie Louise Coleiro Preca will address the participants and present the prizes to the winners.
