The Turkish Cycling Federation recently held its financial general assembly to review reports for the 2024–2026 period. During the assembly, the current administration led by President Emin Müftüoğlu received a vote of confidence. The federation also elected new leadership, including Abdullah Albunar as chairman, Süleyman Okur as vice chairman, and Mustafa Mücahit Koç as secretary.

Following the assembly, the federation announced the ‘Turkey is Pedaling’ (Türkiye Pedallıyor) initiative. Scheduled to take place across 81 provinces from October 29 to November 1, the event coincides with the 103rd anniversary of the Republic of Turkey and serves as a precursor to the COP31 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya. The program aims to promote climate awareness and sustainable living by encouraging bicycle use as a zero-emission transportation alternative.
