Come January 11, Delhi’s young trailblazers are calling all pedal-pushers for ‘Sundays on Cycle’ – a dynamic event blending fun, fitness, and environmental advocacy. This isn’t your average bike ride; it’s a citywide revolution spearheaded by the next generation of leaders.
From dawn patrols at Lodhi Gardens to sunset spins near the Yamuna, routes are meticulously planned to showcase Delhi’s charm without the usual chaos. Youth coordinators have roped in schools, colleges, and NGOs, ensuring inclusivity for all ages and skill levels.
Behind the scenes, preparations are in full swing. Volunteers are mapping out 20+ km loops, partnering with local cafes for hydration stations, and even integrating tech like ride-tracking apps. The focus? Empowering youth voices in urban planning, with panel discussions on sustainable transport post-ride.
Delhi’s air quality woes and rising obesity rates provide stark context. Previous iterations drew over 5,000 participants, sparking conversations with municipal authorities. This year, expect amplified impact with celebrity endorsements and social media challenges.
Safety first: Helmets mandatory, group riding protocols, and police escorts ensure smooth sailing. As the city battles gridlock, ‘Sundays on Cycle’ reminds us that two wheels can outpace four. Mark your calendars – it’s time to cycle for change.
