Cycling: 'Cycling for a Better Life' a success

Sport

The Sprint Sports Club conducted the 'Cycling for a Better Life' workshop at the National Olympic Committee Auditorium in the first week of December. 

The event saw the participation of over 140 cyclists and officials from cycling clubs in the Colombo District as well as leisure riders. 

"The number of Cyclists, both Professional and Amateurs, have increased in the last few years. We see this on the roads today and especially on weekends where lots of people are now taking up cycling as a way to exercise and socialise. We at Sprint Sports Club identified that these new leisure riders should be educated on doing this sport correctly without causing injuries in the long run. We also wanted to educate the Professional riders on the same as well as on technical areas so that they can achieve better results and be competitive internationally," the organisers stated. 

The workshop was aimed at educating the increasing number of cycling enthusiasts, both professional and amateur, in Sri Lanka about injury free cycling. 

The aim of the event was to provide more in depth knowledge to cyclists about common cycling injuries and preventing non-communicable diseases through prior actions and proper nutrition. 

Another key area of discussion was how bike assembling is important to fine tune technical deficiencies of cyclists so that they can stay free from long-term injuries and achieve better results. 

The Association thanks the President of Cycling Federation of Sri Lanka, Dr. Amal Harsha de Silva for gracing the event and making an encouraging speech to the participants and the organisers.
