BICENTENARY OF BICYCLE
Meeting
3.0 hrs
January 29, 2017 10:30 am Sunday

On June 12, 1817 the first bicycle was run in the town of Baden by its inventor, Karl Draise. Since then there have been millions of bicycle enthusiasts and in 2017 a very large number of events celebrating the occasion will occur all over the world.

From an ecological perspective the bicycle is one of the most sustainable and affordable mode of transport. Almost any one can afford it. It is cheaper than a smart phone! It is the transport of the future particularly when oil resources are depleting.

We at Ecologise Hysderabad will also like to celebrate the event. We open the year with a film show ‘The Bicycle-A Celebration of the Invention’. It will be followed by different people presenting the scene in Hyderabad and we hope that it will end up with forming a committee to celebrate the event in Hyderabad through out the year.

All bicycle enthusiasts are welcome!
