Golmayo collects used bicycles to give them a second life in Ethiopia

This Saturday, September 18, the Golmayo Sports Week starts. In total they will be 6 days of intense activity in the municipality that, as is tradition, serve as a showcase to publicize all the activities that will be offered during the year.

Skating, badminton, judo, handball, paddle tennis, basketball, racquetball, volleyball, rhythmic gymnastics and table tennis. “Everyone is invited to try, for free, the sports that will mark the course in the town,” says Benito Serrano, mayor of Golmayo.

Bike Day

Golmayo Sports Week will officially start this saturday september 18 with the celebration of Bike Day. The initiative is expected to repeat the success of previous editions and the walk between Camaretas and Golmayo (which will start at 11:00 am) flood the municipality with cyclists’ colors. “It is not a competitive activity, but rather a walk that always turns into a party,” explains Serrano.

This year, two important new features are included. The first one is an informative talk (1:30 pm on the multitrack) that will allow those present to meet a professional cycling team. Soria Puro Oxygen will share experiences and secrets with the people of Golma to encourage them to love a sport that creates addicts.

This Bike Day will also have an interesting solidarity character. Golmayo will collect used or damaged bicycles so they can have a second life in Ethiopia. This will happen thanks to the collaboration with the project ‘Pedales por África’, of the NGO Holystic Proafrica.

“This NGO takes advantage of the parts of old bicycles to form other bicycles that do work and take them to the African country,” explains the Golmayense councilor, who adds that “for example, there are doctors who use them to consult from town to town“.
