“We are also very excited about the success of the 5th Cycling Lagos Webinar held on Thursday, September 3, 2026, where experts came together to provide inspiring and practical solutions to waste management and the expansion of recycling capacity in Lagos and Nigeria at large,” he said.
According to him, the annual Cycling Lagos, organised by Cycling Africa Limited in collaboration with the Lagos State Cycling Association, has reached a significant milestone with its fifth edition and continues to promote cycling, healthy living, road safety, environmental sustainability and youth participation in sports.
Adeleye said the organisers are committed to providing a safe, inclusive and engaging experience for participants, with relevant stakeholders and support agencies expected to play key roles in traffic management, security, medical support and overall event coordination.
The 2026 edition is themed “TRASH TO TREASURE: Unlocking Recycling Capacity for a Sustainable Future,” reflecting the organisers’ commitment to using cycling as a platform to promote environmental consciousness and encourage Nigerians to see waste not merely as a nuisance, but as a valuable resource capable of creating economic opportunities.
The grand finale of the event will feature various categories, including the Children’s Race, Celebrity Race and competitive cycling activities. Cyclists are expected to ride through designated routes across Lagos before returning to the National Stadium, Surulere.
The 5th Cycling Lagos is expected to attract cyclists, cycling clubs, sports enthusiasts, families and other participants from Lagos and different parts of Nigeria, further strengthening the culture of cycling and highlighting its potential as a healthy, environmentally friendly and sustainable means of mobility.
