"Pedal towards a better tommorow!"

Sick of the daily traffic pollution in Bengaluru? I know I am! But here's something I'm looking forward to-
Karnataka Chief Secretary, Mr. Sudhakar Rao has roped in TI Cycles of India for a FIRST EVER in India, Cyclothon event. Scheduled tentatively on 11th October, the event marks the 60th anniversary of the cycle company.

The race has been categorized into
50 km Elite race for the professional and competitive athelets
50 km Amateur race
25 km Corporate race
25 km Green race
5 km Teen race (13-17 years of age)
2 km Fun ride (8-12 years of age)

"The races will be flagged off at the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) and finish at the same spot after a run through the NICE corridor" The Hindu paper stated. A separate lane for the participants would be provided for that day.

Mr. Sudhakar Rao was quoted in The Hindu saying, " Let us hope that it helps us in our drive for a cleanier, greener and healthier Bengaluru." While the TI cycle company hopes to have this as an annual event.
