DURBAN EMBRACES ACTIVE MOBILITY AT CYCLE SUNDAY

DURBAN EMBRACES ACTIVE MOBILITY AT CYCLE SUNDAY The inaugural Cycle Sunday was a resounding success, drawing hundreds of people for a fun, safe, and familyfriendly ride from uMhlanga to the Moses Mabhida Stadium. DURBAN'S Blue Lagoon and the northern transit corridor came alive on 26 October as hundreds of cyclists and families took to the M4 for the City's inaugural Cycle Sunday. The event, organised by Peschl Sports, Cycle Lab, and the Pedal Power Association in partnership with eThekwini Transport Authority's ETA GODurban, highlighted the City's growing commitment to NonMotorised Transport NMT and a more integrated, peoplecentred transport system. Durban is steadily moving towards a fully integrated transport network that combines buses, taxis, trains, cycling, and walking into a seamless system. At the Moses Mabhida Stadium lawns, a youth cycling zone introduced children aged 6 to 12 to safe cycling practices, including helmet use, hand signalling, and road safety awareness. Acting Director of ETA Nelisiwe Zama, said the event underscored the importance of education and shared road responsibility. "Cycle Sunday is about changing how we think about moving around our City," said Zama.
