Mysuru Cycle Day promotes sustainable mobility, cleaner air

Reinforcing the push for sustainable urban mobility and cleaner air, the fourth edition of ‘Mysuru Cycle Day’, organised by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), drew enthusiastic participation at Saraswathipuram in the city on Monday.

Organised in collaboration with GIZ and ESAF under the Sustainable Urban Mobility-Air Quality initiative, the event highlighted the importance of environment conservation, public health and pollution-free urban living.

The highlight of the programme was a five-km cycle rally in which hundreds of cycling enthusiasts, students and residents participated. The event also featured ‘Open Street’ activities and traditional games, turning the stretch into a public space and reinforcing the idea that city roads can serve as people-friendly community spaces rather than being used solely for vehicular traffic.

The programme was conducted with the support of the Mysuru city police, traffic police, NCC cadets, educational institutions and various government departments.

Organisers said the ‘Mysuru Cycle Day’ is steadily emerging as an important platform to promote clean mobility and a healthy lifestyle among citizens. The MCC expressed gratitude to volunteers, partner organisations and the public for contributing to the success of the event.
