The 8th edition of the socio-cultural activity ” Okay sou bekann “, a successful challenge

The city of Cayes where two wheels have a voice, repeated its annual festival dedicated to these machines.
Indeed, they were hundreds and even thousands of cayens, all the confused layers, to take part in this activity at the same time socio-cultural, recreational and sporting, this January 2nd, noted the reporter of ZimmHaitiNews, John Philosca.
The bicycle race is the king sport in the southern metropolis. Young and old, women and children, enjoy it daily.
Nothing is more hilarious and exciting than to see the beautiful cayennes riding their bikes to go shopping, visit relatives or simply enjoy the pleasure of cycling.
Bicycles and the city of Les Cayes have a long history and the practice of cycling has entered the soul of all Cayens and Cayennes who prefer to leave the car and motorcycles in the parking lot to make the road by bike.
Also, on this day of the commemoration of the day of the Forefathers, they were still numerous to make the displacement to perpetuate the tradition.
The former President of the Republic, Jovenel Moïse, and the former Senator of the Republic, Gabriel Fortuné, who died in the earthquake of August 14, have enhanced the brilliance of this challenge by participating twice.
The challengers parade through the streets of the city to finish their race on the beach of Gelé known for its summer festivals during the marketing of the patronal feast of the city.
A moment of leisure, celebration and conviviality to drown the pangs of existence punctuated by uncertainties of all kinds.
“The culture is the soul of a people, it is appropriate to perpetuate it to ensure the vu longevity of the nation,” said enthusiastic participants.
“Les Cayes à bicyclettes”, an umpteenth edition crowned with success in this period of generalized crisis and especially at a time when the city of Cayes has lost one of its valiant fighters in the person of Gabriel Fortuné.
Long live culture in the service of progress and national development!
