Small Things - Makes Big Difference
- As per STPI Records (2.5 Lakh) 2,50,000 IT Employees are there in Hyderabad city.
- Taking wild guess - Atleast 50% (1,25,000) of the people are 15Kms away from their offices.
- As a "Initial Goal" If we are able to encourage 10% (12,500) of above said to "Cycling" - Only Once in a week.
- Imagine 12,500 People take "Cycling" - Only Once in a week - How it makes difference on "Health / Economy / Traffic / Air Pollution / Noise Pollution"
- On on average everybody spends Rs.4 per Kilometer (Mixed users of Car / Auto / Power bikes) 12,500 people x 30Kms (up & down) * Rs.4 per KM -> Rs.15,00,000 (Rs.15 Lakh savings per day contribution in a week )
- Small tip -> Try to donate your individual savings to an orphanage, Small individual amounts makes difference to society.

It’s also a great low-impact mode of exercise for those with joint conditions or injuries to the legs or hips, which might keep them from being active.
3. Cycling is good for your waistline: You can burn a lot of calories while biking, especially when you cycle faster than a leisurely pace, and cycling has been associated with helping to keep weight gain down. And cycling has the added benefit of ramping up your metabolism, even after the ride is over.
4. Cycling is good for your lifespan: Bicycling is a great way to increase your longevity, as cycling regularly has been associated with increased ‘life-years’, even when adjusted for risks of injury through cycling.
5. Cycling is good for your coordination: Moving both feet around in circles while steering with both your hands and your body’s own weight is good practice for your coordination skills.
6. Cycling is good for your mental health: Riding a bike has been linked to improved mental health.
7. Cycling is good for your immune system: Cycling can strengthen your immune system, and could protect against certain kinds of cancers.
