This exhibition in Chennai showcased rides and memorabilia from the past. Some dating back to the 1880s

With cycling growing in popularity over the years, it comes as no surprise that many find themselves interested in bicycles from a bygone time. And what better way to introduce the public to vintage bicycles than through an exhibition.

Since 2018, Ramanujar Moulana, the founder of Cycling Yogis, has brought together collectors and enthusiasts with this event. “This is the third year of the event.

Through this we can track Madras’ history as well.”
