The covering letter
Ever wonder what aspect of Cycle Day got most attention and interest around? It was the news about BMTC trying an experiment of allowing people to carry their cycles on the Bus. Since Volvo or similar low floor buses are the only ones where it is possible to carry cycles along without causing inconvenience to other commuters, this experiment is limited to those types of buses.
Bengaluru Cycle Day went off very well with more than 1100 people attending it. The sea of cyclists coming out to enjoy their ride & make it a habit is heartwarming & proves once & for all that Bengaluru is the cycling capital of India.
