As part of the European Mobility Week celebrations, Pljevlja recorded a record turnout of citizens for a recreational bicycle ride on September 21st. As many as 310 participants gathered at 13. jul Square and set off together on a 15-kilometer ride to Brvenica, demonstrating that interest in cycling and active lifestyles continues to grow in this municipality.

Attendees were welcomed at the starting line by Dijana Jurić, Director of the Tourist Organization of Pljevlja, who emphasized that the primary goal of this event is to promote cycling as a healthy and sustainable mode of transport through a joint ride and fellowship, rather than competition.

Following the official start from 13. jul Square, the column of cyclists rode to the “Bušnje” quarry for a brief break before continuing onward to the final destination in Brvenica.

The bicycle ride was organized by the Municipality of Pljevlja – Secretariat for Sports and Youth and the Tourist Organization of Pljevlja, with the support of the “Municipalities for EU” project and in cooperation with the Union of Municipalities of Montenegro.

The massive turnout of Pljevlja residents of all generations confirmed the local community’s readiness to actively participate in creating a healthier urban environment. The extraordinary energy and record number of participants in this bicycle ride serve as proof that the ideas of sustainable mobility and green modes of transport have a strong and promising future in Pljevlja.
