Cycling Club

Hello, I am Semih Kalkandelen, a 1st-year foreign trade student at Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University. I am here to introduce the Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University Cycling community. Our community was founded in early November 2021. We have been active ever since. Our community aims to bring together students who love cycling and embrace healthy living. We only gather around the campus when we are going to tour. We contact students via WhatsApp and organize our events. Here we start by giving our bikes and helmets to our students. The number of our members is now over 300, those who join our cycling community are people who love cycling and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Especially for those who are bored with daily life and like to be in touch with nature, cycling is a great option. Our main events throughout the year are 29 October Republic Day, 10 November Commemoration of Atatürk, and 18 March Çanakkale martyrs commemoration events. Apart from this, we organize training tours to the villages around Bandırma. The last event we did was the liberation of Bandırma on 17 September. We were with our national cyclist, who set off from Samsun, as he left the Turkish flag, which he received from Samsun, on the September 17 monument. Our group is open to all students studying at Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University. Students who have been interested in cycling before and who are interested in this sport are our priority. I think that this community enables not only me, but all the participating students to take a more active role in daily life and to be more successful in social life. Apart from this, it will help them to lead a healthy life by getting rid of the stress of daily life. This allowed my personal growth as I mentioned. I wish good luck to all students who will take the university exam. We welcome everyone to Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University.
