In the middle of May, thousands of cyclists rided through the center of Minsk in Different costumes in the traditional bicycle carnival "Viva, rovar!" (which means “Viva, bicycle!”) . The participants gathered at the stela "Minsk – Hero City" and rided to the Minsk Arena and returned to the Victory Park, where celebration continued. TUT.BY has prepared photo 360, as well as video from the ground and air of the event.
