These days, members of the city’s Bhopal Bicycle Riders Group are cycling 20-40 km daily. This group of more than 450 youth is making people aware about cycling before the Corona period. In this, a group of youth along with Vinod Pandey of the group have not only been cycling themselves for the last 3 years, but have also been motivating people to cycle. Pandey told that initially very few members used to come for cycling. But during the Corona period, there was a sudden increase in people’s interest in cycling to improve exercise and immunity. When the group members felt stronger by cycling regularly for 30 consecutive days, everyone made cycling a part of their daily routine.
Lakshya has traveled to many places with the aim of adding 1 member from every household.
Group officials said that it is their endeavor to get at least one member from each family involved in cycling in the next one year. This will not only promote cycling but will also increase physical fitness. Most of the members of the group have made cycling a part of their daily routine, under which many members, apart from regular cycling, are also using the cycle to go to office two days a week.
According to the members associated with the group, now apart from Sundays, they also cycle up to 200 km on other holidays in the week. Under cycling, the members have cycled to Bhopal and nearby big temples. Among these, Bhojpur, Kankali Temple, Jain Temple, Salkanpur, Sanchi, Kankali Temple, Sehore Ganesh Temple are prominent.
