Earlier in December, Pimpri-Chinchwad etched its name in history by achieving the largest static cyclist formation, earning a coveted spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Celebrating this milestone, a massive cycling rally unfolded at Gavjatra Maidan, Bhosari, with an impressive turnout of over 30,000 cyclists.
This monumental initiative of Indrayani River Cyclothon 2023 aimed to champion the preservation of the Indrayani River, acknowledged in the India Book of Records in 2022. The success is a testament to the collaborative efforts of Cycle Mitra, Avirat Shramdaan, Mahesh Dada Sports Foundation, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, Pimpri-Chinchwad Police, and other environmentally conscious organizations.
