HCL Group organized two engaging cycling events in Hyderabad as a precursor to the highly anticipated HCL Cyclothon, scheduled for December 15. These events aimed to celebrate the spirit of fitness, environmental sustainability, and the city’s rich heritage. Hyderabad, known as the City of the Nizams, was chosen as the host for HCL Cyclothon due to its thriving cycling culture and its commitment to fostering cycling-friendly infrastructure, including extensive dedicated cycling tracks. The city’s growing passion for cycling provided the ideal backdrop to connect with a vibrant cyclist community and advocate for sustainable urban transportation.
Cyclists enthusiastically participated in the #ChangeYourGear Rides, held on the mornings of November 10 and 24. The rides started from multiple locations across Hyderabad, including Peddlers Point in Gachibowli, HBC Station near Sanjeevaiah Park, Necklace Road, and The Bike Affair in Kondapur. Participants converged at the iconic Charminar, where they enjoyed chai and a photo session before proceeding to Sanjeevaiah Park for breakfast.
Additionally, the “Know the History of Hyderabad on a Cycle” ride on 10th November offered participants a unique experience of exploring historical landmarks, including the iconic Golkonda Fort, while promoting environmental consciousness.
The rides saw enthusiastic participation from cycling groups and recreational riders, bringing the community together to embrace a healthier lifestyle and raise awareness about sustainable living. Through these events, HCL continues to foster community engagement and inspire positive environmental action.
