The Hong Kong Cyclothon attracted thousands of cyclists on Sunday, 18 December, the first time the popular cycling extravaganza had been held since 2018.
One of the largest outdoor sporting events to be held in Hong Kong this year, nearly 4,000 cycling enthusiasts and professional cyclists took part, riding by and along many of the spectacular landmarks that help to make the city so very special.
Cyclists taking part in the thrilling 50km and 30km rides enjoyed the exclusive experience of cycling on major traffic routes which would not normally be open to cyclists.
Despite the cold weather, the peloton was welcomed by the gentle light at the break of dawn as they sped across Stonecutters Bridge and through tunnels, as well as the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Xiqu Centre and International Commerce Centre (ICC).
After the amateur cyclists streaked past the finish line in Tsim Sha Tsui, professional cycling athletes staged a series of intense battles for the win on the other side of the city centre.
