In the past two years, the Hong Kong Cycling Festival has been cancelled due to legislative amendments and the epidemic.
As the Greater Bay Area is the general direction of future development, the HKTB will resume the Hong Kong Cycling Festival next year. The route of the event will be moved from the originally planned Sunny Bay to the Hong Kong section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, starting from the artificial island of the bridge. Physical activities will be involved. The maximum number of participants is 3,000 and is only available to local residents.

This year's event also launched a virtual experience for the first time, so that overseas, the mainland and the public can experience the feeling of riding the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.
He hopes that this year's event will play the role of a pioneering project, paving the way for the HKTB to hold a larger scale of cross-city events in the Greater Bay Area in the future. He also hopes that the next cycling festival can attract visitors from other cities in the Greater Bay Area to participate.
Cheng Dingyi said that the cycling festival’s route plan will be held in the Hong Kong section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. The tourism departments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau all welcome this idea. The Tourism Board is studying the wind direction and weather conditions on the bridge. Suitable for cycling events.
He also said that if the Hong Kong section of the event is successfully tested, it will be considered in the future to extend the cycling festival to the Greater Bay Area.
Plan to hold another cycling festival in the fourth quarter of next year. Cheng Dingyi: I hope customs clearance will be resumed by then
Cheng Dingyi also pointed out that the plan to step on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge the year before last was a pre-epidemic plan.
As the central government hopes to plan Hong Kong into the "Greater Bay Area Metropolis", Cheng believes that the event can collect more data. In the future, he will discuss with cities in the Bay Area and use the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to extend to other cities.
He revealed that the cycling festival will be held again in the fourth quarter of next year and hopes to resume customs clearance by then, but the specific details are still under consideration.
