The initiative promotes cycling as a sustainable, inclusive, and an eco-friendly form of exercise with numerous health benefits. Adopting cycling as a form of exercise not only improves cardiovascular health and boosts mental well-being, but also helps deal with the rising obesity problems among the youth. It’s a simple yet powerful way to stay active, relieve stress, and reconnect with nature.
