Cyclists of Pune
Check out the inspiring stories of the cyclists of Pune, India, as they navigate the city's chaotic streets, choosing bicycles over motor vehicles for better health, cost savings, and lower environmental impact. Despite battling heavy traffic and a lack of proper cycle lanes, they continue to cycle because it’s affordable, saves time, and sustains their livelihoods.
These dedicated cyclists teach their children to cycle and traverse vast distances. Their stories illuminate the challenges they face while demonstrating the need for proper implementation of the Pune Bicycle Plan. Their movement aims for nothing less than to reclaim Pune as the city of bicycles!
