Have wheels, will pedal is the motto of bicycle riders in Thiruvananthapuram. Their reasons for taking up cycling vary from improving fitness levels to a passion for exploring the outdoors and racing against the wind.
Leading from the front is Prakash P Gopinath, Bicycle Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram, who has made it his mission to popularise the use of bicycles, especially among women and children.
On June 3, observed as World Bicycle Day, a new Junior Bicycle Mayor will be selected from among more than 24 candidates.
