Dubai Ride, the annual community cycling event, saw a record-breaking 41,836 participants cycle along Sheikh Zayed Road on Sunday morning. The event, organized by DP World, surpassed last year's record of 40,327 cyclists. Riders, of various ages and abilities, traversed the iconic road, passing landmarks such as the Museum of the Future and Dubai Water Canal.

Two routes were offered, a 12km course along Sheikh Zayed Road and a 4km family-friendly route around Downtown Dubai. Unlike a race, Dubai Ride is a free, untimed event that encourages participants to complete the routes at their own pace. The event was part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, which aims to promote daily exercise. This year's challenge runs from October 31 to November 29 and includes various fitness activities across the emirate.

The Dubai Ride concluded the challenge with a record 307,000 participants in last year's Dubai Run, which also saw Sheikh Zayed Road close to traffic.
