Addressing the gathering, the Commissioner congratulated Land Trades on organizing ProRide Cyclothon. “Nowadays people are health conscious. Cycling is a very good exercise. I am also a cycling enthusiast. Cycling is the best way to keep oneself healthy and fit. It is also good for the environment. Everybody should take up cycling and ride every day for at least 10 to 15 km. People should commute by cycle to college, schools or office and become the ambassadors of the green revolution,” he said.
