Ilsur Metshin called upon those involved to ensure the safety of the ride. "This event is our first. The project is intended to attract tourists, so not only Kazan residents will take part, and their security is our first concern. I am confident that this project will be of interest to all, and it is advisable not to miss it. This is one of the activities that will acquaint the participants with the sights, cultural riches and history of Kazan. Unfortunately, we cannot implement everything the cyclists have asked for, but the implementation of the project shows that we are open to cycling fans' suggestions," concluded the mayor of Kazan.
