City takes up ‘Cycle to Work’ challenge

The ‘Cycle to Work’ challenge was launched in Cubbon Park on Saturday, coinciding with the World Car-Free Day. Mayor R Sampath Raj and Bengaluru’s Bicycle Mayor Sathya Sankaran were present at the launch.

Any company or group of employees enthusiastic about cycling to work can register for the event. Sankaran said the main objective was to track the number of people who cycled to work, the popular cycling routes and the average distance covered by a cyclist. The data collected during the event will be presented to the authorities so they can improve the bicycle infrastructure. Register on http://cycleto.work.
