On how to increase the taste of cycling, Firoja Suresh says that cycling should be started from a short distance. Do not use the car if you want to bring milk in the morning, small groceries. Use a bicycle instead. Once you start, if you want to get out of the house, you will definitely take a bicycle with you. Your interest in cycling will increase. You will enjoy cycling. After that you will want to participate in other cycling events. You will also use the bicycle to go to the office. (World Bicycle Day)
On cycling in Mumbai, Firoja said, be it dabwalas or other cyclists in Mumbai, they never complain that there is no cycling track, pollution is high. So people should also consider the benefits of cycling and stop making loopholes. We have decided to distribute 1200 bicycles free of charge through our initiative “Cycle Chala City Bacha”. In this way we are going to gift 50 bicycles to each ward in Mumbai. For that we are emphasizing on slums. We are starting from teaching the girls here to ride a bicycle. We are trying to raise their standard of living through bicycle. (World Bicycle Day)
Firoja says that during the Corona period, people had an increased tendency to cycle, run and exercise. But now the laziness has increased. So again health related problems have started to be faced.
Infectious disease specialist Dr. Ishwar Gilada says that SSC is the key to good health. Swimming, sex and cycling can improve your health. Cycling exercises the arms, legs, stomach and optionally the entire body. Improves blood flow in the body. By improving respiratory function, the amount of getting pure oxygen increases. From infectious diseases to heart disease, feet prevent many diseases.
Dr. Gilada said that some people say they don’t have time. But cycling can be done at home now. While riding a spin bike, we can do other things along with it. So there is no need to make separate time for exercise. Earlier, a country with cars and bikes was considered a developed country. But now the dimensions have changed. The Netherlands has the highest number of bicycles in the country. People of this country have achieved better health through cycling.
