When a cycling bond becomes a personal one. I've experienced Hungary's embrace of cycling first-hand over these years. I already knew how deeply this country is connected to the healthy passion for cycling. But in three days at the Tour de Mátra I felt all of this with my own hands... and legs!
I took part in the Minifondo and the Gran Fondo, and I saw children, women and men of all ages sharing the joy of cycling to the highest peak in Hungary in complete safety.

Can you guess Ivan's bib number?
