Cycling

Lead by the Like2Bike team, the cycling champions work to promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. Through their efforts, they organise ‘bike buses’ which are weekly group rides to school, workshops, and awareness campaigns, aiming to encourage their fellow peers and the local community to use bicycles as an alternative to cars, helping to improve the environmental conditions of the community and promoting healthy living.
