Cycling Africa unveils expansion plan across African cities, announces strategic control of Cycling Lagos, Cycling Kano
Cycling Africa on Tuesday announced its assumption of the management and strategic coordination of Cycling Lagos and Cycling Kano, as part of a broader plan to position cycling as a major platform for sports development, tourism, healthy living, environmental sustainability and economic opportunities across Africa.
President/Chief Executive Officer of Cycling Africa, Bamidele Adeleye, said the new management structure represents a significant step forward in the evolution of the cycling events.
Bamidele explained that Cycling Africa will provide professional management, strategic partnerships, marketing, sponsorship development, event production and expansion opportunities for the two flagship cycling initiatives, as well as other projects currently in the pipeline, while BrandEscort continues to provide media support for all the events.
The announcement comes ahead of the 5th edition of Cycling Lagos, scheduled to hold on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
The 2026 edition is themed “Trash to Treasure”, reflecting the event’s increasing focus on environmental sustainability, recycling and responsible waste management.
The event is expected to feature cyclists, children, families, corporate participants and cycling enthusiasts, while providing a platform for stakeholders to promote sustainable transportation and environmental consciousness.
“Africa needs more platforms that can bring people together across borders. Cycling provides that opportunity. Our vision is to build a network of cycling events and initiatives that can contribute to healthier communities, cleaner cities and stronger sports tourism across Africa,” he said,” Bamidele said.
