Make cycling part of life to remain fit and to keep Earth green: Mandaviya

Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday urged people to make cycling a part of their life to remain fit and healthy and also to keep Earth green.

He participated in a cyclathon on Monday organised by the National Board of Examination in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) with the theme Save Earth, Save Life.

The rally commenced from Nirman Bhawan and traversed through Kartavya Path.

As he led the cyclathon, Mandaviya, also known as a Green MP for his zeal for cycling, urged people to use bicycles to promote health and fitness.

The cycle can substantially help to address environmental issues as it is a no-pollution vehicle. Many developed countries are using cycles on a large scale. While in India it is known as a poor man's vehicle, it should be our aim to transform this into a rich man's vehicle. It needs to be made a 'passion' from 'fashion'."

Let us make cycling a part of our life for a Green Earth and healthy Earth," he urged.
