The Cycling Club Perun from Niksis, Montenegro are the organizers of championships in mountain biking. The goal of the club is to work on the improvement of mountain biking among young people and the development of mountain biking as a tourist product.
This club owns the first bicycle that arrived in Montenegro from Paris, France back in 1900. Bicycle was brought by Ljubo Petrović Njegoš, the son of Sako Petrović Njegos, who was the Governor of Niksic. This bicycle is still functional and is used for promotional purposes when bicycle races are organized.
