Hyderabad, March 29: Hyderabad Bicycling Club (HBC) along with Chirec Public School and WWF organised an 'Eco Friendly Cycle Ride' to commemorate Earth Hour day on Saturday, from Gachibowli Bike Station. The ride was flagged off by actor Ram Charan Teja, the brand ambassador of WWF. He also joined the ride along with several prominent citizens including Shobana Kamineni, D.V. Manohar, Chairman, Hyderabad Bicycling Club, Ms Ratna Reddy of Chirec Public School and NVS Reddy, MD, Hyderabad Metro Rail.
Ram Charan Teja, who was impressed with so many youngsters coming out early in the morning for the cause, said that protecting our planet is a matter of priority for all of us. These youngsters by participating in the ride in large numbers are sending a strong message of the grave urgency to save our planet and that each one of us has to contribute our bit for the cause. Conserve energy and minimise electric power usage by switching off the lights, fans and other electric appliances whenever inessential, he added.
HBC has taken the initiative to make this day very special by hosting Eco Friendly Cycle Ride to spread awareness about the day and also more significantly to adopt Bicycle as the mode of transport and save the earth from pollution emanating from burning of non-renewable fossil fuels, says Mr D.V. Manohar. It's a moment of great delight for us at HBC, we have crossed the unique land mark of 5000 members and are confident of crossing the 10,000 mark by March, 2015, says Mr Manohar.
Speaking on the occasion Ms Shobana Kamineni said, keeping good health should be the number one mantra for all of us and bicycling is the best way to keep good health and have a pollution free ride.
