City roads to be closed for cycle challenge

A

number of roads around Dubai will be closed this weekend, as thousands of bikers are expected to hit the streets for a major cycle event.

UAE residents have been advised that the ‘Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge’ on December 14 will affect road access in many parts of the city.

At least 2,000 cyclists are set to participate in the 9th edition of the race, which seeks to raise money for the Al Jalila Foundation. The bikers will start and finish at Dubai Autodrome after pedalling their way across the city. (Staff Report)
