San Pedro Alcántara Celebrates Pedal Day with a Family Route

San Pedro Alcántara will host this Sunday, September 21, the 11th edition of Pedal Day, a sporting and family event that is becoming a staple in the local event calendar and promotes sustainable mobility and healthy habits. The activity, which is non-competitive, will start at the church square with departure at 11:00 AM, and the finish line will be at La Salida beach parking area. The day will offer free onsite registration starting at 9:00 AM in the same square.

The local council member, Lisandro Vieytes, highlighted that "this is one of the most traditional and anticipated events in San Pedro's calendar, combining sports, coexistence, and family participation." The councilor thanked the involvement of local cycling clubs, "who actively collaborate in organizing and managing the event, contributing to its development with total security." The route will be accessible and will run through the Sampedreño boulevard to the La Salida beach area, without steep slopes, making it ideal for people of all ages, including children with kids' bikes or tricycles.

For his part, the deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier García, emphasized that "this activity is part of the European Mobility Week, reinforcing the commitment of the City Council to a more sustainable and active city." He added that "Pedal Day is an event that gathers around a thousand people each year, many of them complete families, and promotes sports practice in a safe and festive environment."

On the other hand, the president of the cycling club Los Jululus, Manuel García, expressed his satisfaction with collaborating again in this edition and emphasized that "it is a day of meeting, walking, sharing with family, and promoting the love for cycling among the youngest, who will also attend with their sports schools." All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt in exchange for bringing a container to recycle, as a gesture of environmental commitment.
