Come May 7, Hyderabad will witness the third edition of the Hyderabad Cycling Revolution (HCR), an initiative to spread awareness about active mobility which involves walking, running, cycling or using public transportation.
So, what is active mobility? It is a long-term sustainable permanent transport solution for Hyderabad, believes Santhana Selvan, Bicycle Mayor of Hyderabad. The active mobility formula lists out options like walking, cycling or public transportation as modes of commute. As per the formula, one walks if the distance is less than a kilometre, cycles when the distance is more than a kilometre but less than five kilometres and uses public transportation (bus/metro) if the distance is more than five kilometres.
More than 5000 participants will start from their homes at 6am to gather at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad by either cycling, running, walking or on a bus or the Metro, informs Selvan.
