Cycling for a better planet
Bicycle Photons and Cycling in Indian cities
Ride a Cycle Foundation is glad to announce the following events which will take cycling to new heights in Indian Cities.
It actually started with a simple mail to Joint Secretary and Director Urban Transport, saying that he spends his time only with BMTC and Metro People on all his visits to Bangalore, whereas it is the cyclists of Bangalore who are faster than Metro and BMTC.
Sri SK Lohia, Director Urban Transport, GOI was kind enough to consider our request and is going to bicycle with us and also inaugurate the Photo Exhibition @ Newly Opened BumsOnTheSaddle Store.
He will also share his vision of making Indian Cities Bicycle Friendly.
Read here about SK Lohia’s adventures with cycling to work.

RideACycle Foundation
The RideACycle Foundation wants to encourage cycling – as a form of recreation, sport and as a means to commute to work. One day it hopes to design fundraisers through cycling for a variety of charities.
The RideACycle Foundation will lobby for the rights of cyclists and for laws that offer protection to cyclists through dedicated cycling lanes as well as through support for safety regulations. We hope to work with the government administration to bring about change aimed at encouraging cycling in our cities.
Amongst the activities the foundation plans to undertake are several fun events like a cycle treasure hunt, off road rides for children, dirt track races, and bicycle maintenance workshops.
However, one of the first campaigns that the RideACycle Foundation will undertake is promoting responsible and safe behaviour within the cycling community.
