Many bicycles worth from 100-200 million VND were brought by athletes from many places to attend the 2024 Cycling Festival for Peace, taking place in the sacred land of Quang Tri on June 29-30, 2024.
The program, co-organized by the People's Committee of Quang Tri province and Thanh Nien Newspaper with a meaningful and positive message, attracted a large number of athletes and cycling enthusiasts from home and abroad.
Nguyen Minh, 27 years old, an athlete from Da Nang, said he brought a bicycle worth nearly 200 million VND and bought it a few months ago to the tournament. The total cost of accessories, clothes, and hats on his body was also about 20 million VND.
Despite the remote location, many athletes do not hesitate to bring expensive bikes and accessories to compete and test their skills. Mr. Tran Hoang Xuan Hung (48 years old, Quang Tri) said that cycling seems simple, but those who love and are passionate about this sport are willing to spend a lot of money on costumes and vehicles.
"I invested nearly 40 million in this bike. Not including accessories, clothes, and shoes. In my opinion, to invest in a mid-range bike, it costs at least 35-40 million. If you have the means, many bikes cost 70-80 million, 100-200-300 million VND," said Mr. Hung.
The athletes' 'beloved cars' rolled on Hien Luong bridge - Ben Hai river on the morning of June 29.
Meanwhile, Chau Truong Son, an athlete from Hue, also modestly introduced his new car, which he bought 1 month ago, worth about 110 million VND.
"I used to be a professional athlete. When I got older, I retired, went back to work and live with my family. Now I have free time to cycle to stay healthy," Son shared.
Meanwhile, Mr. Tran Ha, 37 years old from Nghe An, impressed everyone when he invested nearly 300 million VND in his beloved car - equivalent to nearly 3 Honda SHs.
Mr. Tran Ha, 37 years old from Nghe An, brought a bicycle worth 280 million VND.
He shared that he played many sports such as tennis, soccer... but due to a herniated disc, he switched to cycling and invested a large amount of money in this sport.
It is known that the total value of clothes and sports accessories on Mr. Ha when attending the tournament was nearly 23 million VND. Including shoes worth 14 million VND; helmet worth 5.5 million VND; pants worth 2.3 million VND and shirts sponsored by the club. "I have about 5 pairs of pants like this," said Mr. Ha.
