“Bike Tripoli 1” was held on the 30th of March 2014. The particular importance of this event resides in its ability to break the fear barrier at a time when Tripoli was in a state of political turmoil and instability. Despite the heavy circumstances and difficulties, the event was able to attract more than 1,300 Lebanese cyclists from across the country and to host them and welcome them in the northern capital under the slogan of “Tripoli City of Peace”. Noteworthy was the participation of citizens from Tebbeneh and from Jabal Mohsen, two geographies that were torn by rounds of fighting and violence since 2008. The event witnessed the participation of a significant number of Tripolitan leaders spanning across politics, security and administration. The streets of Tripoli were filled with bikes ridden by young and old cyclists alike. The cycling event and race was organized by Social Way and Green mind and took place at Rashid Karame International Fair under the sponsorship of President Michel Sleiman who was represented by H.E. “Abed Al Mutalleb Al-Henawi”, Minister of Youth and Sports.
