New app-based cycling service introduced

Hyderabad: The launch of Hyderabad Metro Rail services has been hailed as a new development. The transportation of cycle is easier for people to travel in the city especially the morning rides for children and as the government has started gyms at different parks in the city they enjoy all the perks.

There is one cycling track from the Gachibowli bike station to Mindspace. DLF had launched an app- based service for the employees at Gachibowli in association with Cykul. The company has also won the contract to operate its cycles at Miyapur, KPHB, Nagole and other Metro stations. It has deployed 1,000 cycles at the Metro stations. They have been extending the services in the city.

Cycler Mahesh said, “This is a good way to do exercise every day, because a person is so busy in the routine life that they do not have time for themselves. But after coming here and cycling is a good feeling, also it makes our memories refreshing. The roads here are quite smooth though there is the metro work on they do not interrupt our ways. The idea of the cycle is appreciated because it is making a person work out at the same time pollution free.”

Health conscious Harsha said, I think through cycling we can burn all the calories, the emissions you can prevent and the fuel bills you can save. Just leave your vehicle at home, hop on to your bike, and take a short ride on your cycle the Cityroad bicycle through the city terrain to a better lifestyle.

Experienced cyclist Deena said, “Over time, society seems to have cast the humble bicycle as the least desirable vehicle whereas it is ahuman being’s best friend. Combating that decades-old mindset and reversing that trend has been one of the challenges.”
