More than 100 cyclists took part in a charity bicycle tour along historical and memorable places of the newly formed Mykolayivska hromada. The participants of the tour, namely local residents, residents of the neighbouring “non-decentralised” villages and a team of the Dnipropetrovsk Local Government Development Centre, traveled more than 50 km and got acquainted with the cultural features of the villages that amalgamated last year. On this day, volunteers raised four thousand hryvnias to help a seriously ill child Maksym Pecherin with a diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss, deafness.

“This bicycle tour not only unites hromadas, but is also a good tool for improving the tourist attractiveness of the area. The Mykolayivska AH set the goal to develop tourism. The head of the hromada has already signed the Charter of European Mobility Week 2018, and Mykolayivka is one of the 28 Ukrainian hromadas that actively develop cycling and joined the European community,” says Olena Tertyshna, Director of the Dnipropetrovsk LGDC, who also took part in the cycling tour.

Bicycle tour participants also reached the highest point of the hromada – 108 metres above sea level, where the state flag has been recently established.
