Taking to his official Twitter handle, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who also holds the post of the Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, thanked "more than 20,000" riders for their "positive energy and passion".

Cyclists of all ages and abilities were welcomed with "you are part of history" sign on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, riders were able to choose from two routes - the 14 km one along the city's main road, and a shorter, family-friendly one around Downtown Dubai.
