Punit Balan Group Apla Pune Cyclothon Season 3

Overview

• Our main objective is to encourage as many people as possible to add a day to their daily commute by choosing cycle as their mode of transport instead of cars and bikes

• We want to make people realize how cycling as an activity in their daily routine can make a difference in their health

• Like the running community, the cycling community is also huge in numbers

• Last year we have successfully conducted Apla Pune Cyclothon Season 2 wherein more than 5000 people from all walks of life and all age category participated, and other 2000 police, army, and uniform personnel also attended

• Recently we have successfully conducted Jio Mumbai Sustainability Cyclothon Season 2 wherein more than 6000 people from all walks of life and all age categories participated, including Police, Army, and Uniform personnel. Also Special ride for Postman, Dabbawalas and WheelChair was arranged.

• We should shift from motorized transport to non-motorized transport

• Cycling is the ideal way to counter that. We can think of making Pune a Cycling City with the help of THE MOST EFFICIENT HUMAN POWERED DEVICE - Bicycles!
