The Ministry of Youth and Sports, headed by Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, will launch a national sports initiative under the slogan “A Bicycle For Every Citizen”. The initiative aims to change the people’s culture of daily mobility, improve their physical fitness and health, also to encourage them to use the active means of transport rather than relying on the fuel consumption means that pollute the environment.

It’s scheduled to hold a press conference to announce the initiative next September. Also, It will be announced at the Republic's governorates, institutions and authorities in several stages to start in Cairo and Giza governorates.

The initiative implemented by offering bicycles at an affordable price lower than the market price in cooperation with bicycle companies as well as providing an installment system through banks and installment companies.

This comes as part of the political leadership and the ministry's plan to expand the base of sports practice and to stress that sport contributes to the achievement of sustainable community development.
