On Wednesday 17 September 2014, the Board of the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Luxembourg, POST Luxembourg and Amicale POST Luxembourg presented the fourth edition of '6 Stonne Vëlo mat der Post an der Stad' (a 6-hour cycling event in association with POST Luxembourg and the City of Luxembourg).

This sporting event will again take place on the streets and around the premises of POST Luxembourg at the Cloche d'Or, on Sunday 21 September 2014, from 11.00 to 17.00.

Organised by Amicale POST Luxembourg together with the City of Luxembourg, the event once again reflects the city's commitment to recreational sports, competition and the well-being of its citizens.

'6 Stonne Vëlo mat der Post an der Stad' is a bicycle relay race with teams of up to six cyclists. During the six hour race, each team must be represented by one cyclist on the 2.1 km circuit. Teams will be ranked according to their category. These include the following: "Open: amateurs and professionals", "Inter-company: businesses" (in which the City of Luxembourg will participate with several mixed teams) and "Youth teams: age 12-18". The award ceremony will take place in the presence of representatives of the Board of Aldermen of the City of Luxembourg and POST Luxembourg at 18.00.

This year several sports activities will be offered free of charge by the City's Sports Department to allow children and adults to discover certain activities which are organised throughout the year as part of the 'Sports pour tous' programme. Highlights: circus activities (diabolo, bolas, mono-wheel, juggling clubs, Chinese plates, etc.), badminton, table tennis, slack-lining, cross boccia, rope-skipping, etc. as well as a specialised cycle track supervised by instructors.

Between 16.00 and 17.00, the sports instructors will invite you to take part in two activities:
