On Friday, more than 700 people participated in the 2013 Orange Bike Day, organised by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Egypt. Toursim minister Hisham Zazou and Netherlands ambassador Gerard Steeghs were among the cyclists. According to Steeghs, the event will be held annually. The aim of the event is to draw attention to the potential role of bicycles as clean and efficient means of transport. It follows last year's successful cycling event in 2012.
