🚴♂️✨ World Bicycle Day 2026: An Unforgettable Success! ✨🚴♂️
What an incredible Saturday at the Marina of Xylokastro! Our World Bicycle Day festival was an absolute blast, entirely organized by Orfeas with the fantastic support of our local sponsors (including local cafes, restaurants and the town’s bike shop).
We completely transformed the port with a massive main obstacle course! We opened at 18:00 with a lovely turnout of families and kids! They flooded in to tackle our bike route made of cones, fun obstacles and beautiful decorative curtains hanging from arches. Right next to the track, our amazing DJ was keeping the energy high and the crowd moving!
Moreover, we designed side routes where kids tested their balance by targeting obstacles and pop on the way some water balloons with their bike tires!
Alongside the tracks, we proudly displayed a beautiful exhibition of bicycle-themed drawings created by local elementary school students. Together, their artwork formed a stunning, colorful mosaic that everyone stopped to admire.
At 19:00, the streets came alive! A huge crowd of young and old joined our group bike ride, cruising along the wonderful sea coast!
Back at the marina, everyone gathered around our bike expert, Yiannis Nikolopoulos, who shared hacks and advice on bike maintenance and safe riding.
Then our Κλήρωση! The crowd held its breath for the grand prize, a brand-new bicycle🎁🚲
A massive thank you to our community, our volunteers and our local sponsors for making this day a true celebration of movement, community and a sustainable future! 🌍💙
