He said "I along with nearly 200 fellow riders are more inspired than ever to promote bicycle transportation initiatives and sustainable development through all means with special focus on collaboration between NGO/nonprofits and the private sector to organize and mobilize toward creating a future we all want." Special thanks to those who supported him through this meaningful event! 2.
