Mongolia's capital Ulan Bator held an event to promote the use of bicycles in its central square on Saturday.
The event called "Ulan Bator with bicycles", co-organized by the municipal government of the capital city and the Mongolian Cycling Federation, aims to promote a healthy lifestyle and reduce traffic congestion in the city by boosting the use of bicycles, according to the organizers.
The event includes a performance of extreme cyclists, bicycle races by age categories such as a balance bike competition (2-6 years old) and a race of amateur cyclists (over 19 years old), as well as a bicycle fair.
For many years, traffic congestion has been one of the most pressing issues in Ulan Bator, which is home to over half of Mongolia's 3.4 million people.
