Giadomencia Recommends Cycling

Cycling, he said takes away stress, clears the mind and strengthens the body. It is appropriate for the elderly as, it keeps them in good physical condition.

Massari noted that, cycling is an environmental friendly sport. He  stated that the RSCA under their leadership decided to resuscitate the Garden City Cycling Chairmanship, which had been in the cooler for some years.

He said that there has been some progress in the championship as more persons and states are attracted to the competition in order to join.

The championship is gradually becoming big one and needs the desired support to be sustained.

He however, disclosed that next year would witness a better championship and maintained that should the competition grow to the needed height the Garden City Cycling Championship will become the model of cycling in Nigeria and the world at large.

Massari, thus called on the state government to see the importance of the championship and identify with programme in order to take it to the next level.
