More than 300 cyclists of all ages participated in the Cycle Day event that was held at Banashankari on Sunday.
“People enjoyed two rounds of a cycle ride followed by workout sessions including aerobics performance, skipping, rolling skates performance. This was topped off with a health check up for senior citizens where, as many as 150 senior citizens were screened,” said Balaji Sampath, President Elect, Rotary Club - Uttarhalli. Besides, the participants also engaged in chariot rides and horse riding for children.
There are now plans to organize more such cycle days in the next two months. “Initiatives such as these will encourage people to cycle more often and will enable them to understand the benefits of cycling,” added Sampath.
A number of Cycle Days have been organised in the neighbouring areas where participation has been quite good.
