Some news on activities planned on the first CycleDay event. Following is a quick summary from the meeting held on 1/Oct to discuss potential options:
1. Inauguration by the Mayor - via a ceremonial cycle ride.
2. A heritage cycle ride around Cubbon park area. Critical Mass happens on the same day. Work with them to explore combining the two somehow.
Railway Minister Mallikarjuna Kharge on Saturday urged the State government to hasten acquisition process of Binny Mill land abutting the City Railway Station so that the Railways can make a beginning with the Commuter Rail System (CRS) for Bangalore.
This week's Sunday Praja Cycle ride includes CycleDay discussions. Meet at 7am, just before Critical Mass ride in Cubbon Park. All are welcome to join.
The Cycle Day campaign kicks off on Sunday, Oct 27, with its first monthly event, "Feel Bangalore Cycle Day".
More details to follow (this event most will be edited with more specifics), here is the high level plan, a simple call:

Thanks to the efforts of DULT, CiSTUP, RACF, enthusiasts like Das, few Praja RAAG guys (Sri, Sathya), and the enthusiastic cycling groups like Bangalore Bikers Club, Critical Mass and more, there seems to be a buzz about cycling in the city! Lot many more Bengalureans could cycle though.
