On a beautiful Monday morning in Bhubaneswar, citizens from all walks of life came together to celebrate World Bicycle Day. The event, organized by the Bhubaneswar Cycling and Adventure Club (BCAC), kicked off at 6am from the vibrant Unit VI area. The participants, donning neon-green and blue club jerseys and colorful helmets, were a sight to behold as they rode an array of bicycles. The peloton, consisting of BCAC members, consisted of individuals ranging from five-year-old children to spirited seniors over the age of 65. As they made their way through the city, they left a lasting impression on onlookers and motorists alike.
The cyclists made a brief stop at the iconic 'I love Bhubaneswar' insignia to capture some memories before continuing their journey towards Ram Mandir, Exhibition Ground, Acharya Vihar, Kalinga Hospital Square, and Patia. Their final destination was Nandankanan, where they were joined by a group from Cuttack. It was a wonderful opportunity for cyclists from both cities to come together and celebrate their love for cycling.
Among the participants was Twin City Police Commissioner and BCAC president Sanjeeb Panda, who highlighted the significance of cycling. He encouraged everyone to incorporate cycling into their daily lives for a healthier and fitter lifestyle. He also stressed the positive impact of cycling on the environment and urged citizens to use it as a sustainable mode of transportation. "We must embrace cycling for the sake of our own well-being, as well as for the betterment of our community and planet," he said. BCAC, known for its dedication to promoting cycling and adventure in Bhubaneswar, continues to organize regular expeditions and events, spreading awareness about the benefits of cycling.
The United Nations recognized the immense impact of cycling by declaring June 3 as World Bicycle Day during its 72nd General Assembly on April 12, 2018. In line with this resolution, BCAC has been organizing the World Bicycle Day event every year, starting from their Club House and culminating at Nandankanan. This event attracts cyclists not just from Bhubaneswar, but also from neighboring Cuttack, making it a grand celebration of the joy of cycling.
Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with enthusiasm, camaraderie, and a shared love for cycling. As we continue to observe World Bicycle Day every year, let us remember the importance of this simple yet powerful activity in promoting a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
