Over 75 people across various age groups participated in a cyclothon organised by the Rotary Club of Bangalore on Saturday.
June 3 is designated as World Bicycle Day by the UN to recognise the role of cycling in improving health and addressing environmental concerns.
Professional and amateur cyclists completed a 35-km ride, starting from YMCA and covering south and central Bengaluru.
Two cyclists, Dhanush Manjunath and Hemanth Y B, Guinness World Record holders for the longest journey by bicycle (24,000 km) in a single country, were felicitated at the event.
"The event not only provided an opportunity for individuals to enjoy the thrill of cycling but also fostered a sense of community and promoted sustainable practices," said Sanjay Udani, president of the Rotary Club of Bangalore.
