As the world observes World Bicycle Day, Mohali has completed its first dedicated bicycle track, marking a significant milestone for the city’s cycling community. This 3km track, built at a cost of ₹80 lakh, transforms a previously hazardous stretch along Airport Road into a safe passage for cyclists, separating them from fast-moving vehicles. Despite this progress, Mohali faces a challenge with only one cycling corridor in a city that spans numerous sectors. Sarabjeet Singh Samana, a councillor from the Aam Aadmi Party, has voiced intentions to propose further cycling infrastructure around newly constructed roundabouts to alleviate traffic congestion. Meanwhile, a cycling rally in nearby Chandigarh, organized by MY Bharat in partnership with Prasanchetas Foundation, aimed to promote fitness and sustainable transport, with 38 young volunteers participating. This event underscores the growing recognition of cycling as a healthy, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly mode of transport, while also highlighting the need for more comprehensive cycling infrastructure in Mohali.
