โ€œToday, as we award #Kigali, #Rwanda the UCI City Label, #Africa officially becomes part of our global family of UCI Bike Cities.โ€ Watch remarks by David Lappartient at the UCI Mobility & Bike City Forum in Athens, Greece. Fun fact: The UCI Road World Championships held in #KigaliYacu last year recorded the highest TV audience in the eventโ€™s history, surpassing the previous record set in Belgium in 2021 by more than 50%, with close to 300 million viewers worldwide.
