Lukashenko wants Belarus to become bicycle-friendly

MINSK, 5 March (BelTA) – I strongly support the promotion of cycling in the country, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said  as he talked with the staff of OAO Motovelo Plant, BelTA has learned.

“Were it in my power, I would make the streets of Minsk car-free and bicycle friendly. This would be so great. But it is impossible,” Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.

The head of state stressed that he is ‘an ardent supporter’ of the development of bicycle production and cycling sport in Belarus. “Cycling is accessible for all,” the president explained.
