Bulgaria's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivaylo Kalfin took part Saturday in the Streets for the People initiative, which seeks to promote the use of bikes as means of transportation.

Kalfin pointed out that the use of bicycles would help to keep the air in the city much cleaner.

The biking tour started at 10:30 a.m. before the National Stadium Vasil Levski, and ended at 11:40 at the fountain at the entrance of the Southern Park.

A lot of Sofia residents, kids, and employees of the Foreign Ministry took part in the event. The program later continued with children's biking competitions.
