The National bicycle ride will start at 8.30am tomorrow, where riders will leave from the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects in Floriana.

The riders will cycle through Blata l-Bajda, Ħamrun, St. Venera, Attard and Mosta, where they will  head  back through Lija, Birkirkara, St. Venera and Ħamrun until they reach the Ministry.  The ride is expected to last around two hours.  A number of Transport Malta's electric vehicles will accompany the riders throughout the trip to ensure their safety. 

Anyone with a bicycle is invited to attend.  Registration is free of charge and starts at 08:00, in front of the Ministry.  Every participant will get a free t-shirt and five lucky participants will win an electric bike worth around €1,400.

This is the 4th edition of the national bicycle ride. The bike ride is one of the initiatives and activities the Malta National Electromobility Platform within Transport Malta is organizing, to mark European Mobility Week. The theme for this year's edition is "Sharing gets you Further", reflecting the notion that sharing transport modes will lighten the burden on the streets, making them more efficient.

The Malta National Electromobility Platform was set up between the Transport Ministry and Transport Malta to implement the Malta National Electromobility Action Plan. The plan facilitates the eventual electrification of private and public transport, while promoting electromobility and electric vehicles, both with car importers as well as the general public and private companies.
