Dubai Ride — the region’s largest community cycling event returns now on its fifth edition — is open for everyone, regardless of age or ability. The Dubai Ride routes will open to the public at 5am, with cyclists starting their journey at 6.15am and concluding at 8am.
This is the third year in a row that Careem has partnered with RTA for the cycling event.
“This initiative by the RTA not only aims to make Dubai a bicycle-friendly city but also encourages the community to consider sustainable transportation alternatives. Our partnership with Careem Bike plays an essential role in advancing key priorities — sustainability, health, safety, and customer happiness,” said Abdulrahman Mohammad Aljanahi, director of Roads Right of Way, Traffic and Roads Agency and head of sports team at RTA.
“We're thrilled to support RTA's mission to enhance the Dubai Ride experience for residents and tourists again this year. By providing free bike rentals, we’re making it easier than ever for everyone to take part in this event, whether or not they have their own bike,” added Sami Amin, senior director of operations at Careem.
