According to origo.hu, the great spring parade of cyclists returned with a new course. I Bike Budapest tries to follow the traditions of Critical Mass, which was held before 2013 in Budapest annually. The aim of the event is to popularize travelling by bicycle, and it also draws attention to the importance of developments related to cycling.

According to the hosts, approximately 10,000 people attended the cyclist parade of I Bike Budapest, despite the forecasts promising rain.

The hosts also told that cyclists also came to the streets in the countryside – in Debrecen, Szeged, Székesfehérvár and other cities – to highlight that the old and outdated cycle paths require repair in order to decrease urban traffic.
