Dubai: There is no stopping Dubai as a cycling destination, said Dubai Desert Extreme (DDE) Ceo and founder Shahriar Khojasteh as the Dubai Tour kicked off on Wednesday.
Ride Bike Shop, owned by DDE, is a sponsor of the Dubai Tour and its cycling fanatic boss is more excited than most to see the sport growing at an amazing pace in Dubai. “The exciting thing is, there is still so much growth to come. Dubai and cycling will get to the next step when we see more cyclists on the roads. When motorists understand to respect cyclists, when education really pushes cycling as a sport, that’s when we will see it jump to another level,” Khokasteh said.
Cycling is a passion Khojasteh has held for a while and he has no plans to stop his support for the sport. “Cycling changed my life. It got me fit, made me turn a corner. For that I’m forever grateful to cycling,” he said.
“The Dubai Tour is the pinnacle of cycling in the region. Back for a second year and it’s bigger and better. The tour is doing great things for the exposure of cycling in Dubai. For me, it’s up there with other major sporting events in the country now.”
