Pedal Power Foundation, a not – for - profit organization, responds to United Nations Program (UNEP) call to celebrate World Environment Day (WED) on 5th June, 2011. we plan to mentor a community cycle rally to conserve environment through medium of collective cycle ride in pune.
Pune is the cycle capital and was once called “Cycle City” of India. The wonder machine, indeed, has pedaled silently in the history, culture & ethos of this great urban center. This proud past has to be discovered and shared. So that the Puneites engage themselves in a resolution to re-visit cycle and restore its due place in their respective lives.
Yes! Pune has the potential to grow into an exemplary urban mobility centre. After all, we have 126 kms of cycle tracks in the city. The civic authorities continue to be under pressure to assign fair annual budgets for development of pedestrian & cyclist-friendly facilities.
Thus, we believe that Pune has a strong chance to initiate sustainable urban mobility policies and plans for the rest of India to follow. The fortunate presence of socially aware citizens and companies truly brightens the prospects for our city.
