The ‘Cycle Mayor’ of Ranchi, Kanishk Poddar also plans ‘Ranchi cycle day’ on January 26. This is a monthly event taking place on fourth Sunday in order to make people aware about the significance of cycling. “This is the third event since November. The past events saw a gathering of at least 50 people. And now we are expecting the same,” said Kanishk Poddar.
Promoting cycling is done to reunite and connect local cycling community. He talks on organising such events to educate people to pick up cycling and respect cyclists while reaching out to local authorities for providing parking spaces and facilitating cycling.
Cycling is a way of life that will gift people healthy lifestyle, he said. This event will start from 6:30 am at Morabadi ground, from where the cyclists will head towards Kanke block and return to Morhabadi after covering a distance of around 15km.
