500-km cycling in a month
Kanav, 3rd
Std student starts ‘Pledge to Pedal’ campaign to improve immune system amid
Corona threat
Ferozepur, June 29,
2020: On the very first day on his new Max Brand cycle, Kanav, born on October
19, 2011, a student of 3rd Std at St. Joseph Convent School, had a ride of 30
km, from his residence in Bedi Colony to Bazidpur and back along with his
father. He has pledged to do cycling at
lease for 500 km in a month to improve his immune system amid Corona threat.
Cycling is an active,
low-impact exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from youngsters
to older adults. Regular physical activity can protect you from serious
diseases such as obesity, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes and
arthritis.
In fact, Kanav had
seen one day a number of people including small kids doing cycling in the early
morning, during relaxation in lockdown in Corona pandemic, when the passion of
doing cycling intone in him. Though hard
and unpitying, cycling requires great sacrifices who love to enjoy the morning
dreams but once it becomes to one’s mind it becomes a passion from a health
point of view. Kanav has proved his
sacrifices by starting cycling.
When the prices of
petrol and diesel have gone too high, cycling is easy to fit into your daily
routine by riding to the school, college, shops, parks or work which will not
only save fuel and money, it will also be helpful in giving the pollution-free environment. Besides, it gives a chance to explore new
places, routes around the city, and improving the immune system in the wake of
the Corona attack. While it improves
your sense of consciousness while riding, it grows one’s social circle when you
visit different places around the city.
It happened with
Kanav also, who not only insisted on a new cycle not just for fun to do cycling
in the colony rather a regular cyclist with his father Ashu Narula.
When talked to Kanav,
he said in his sharp toned voice, “Uncle, I had just started four days back my
cycling but I will continue it with a target of 500 km in a month. Cycling gives me pleasure in addition to the
feeling of physically active throughout the day.
On asking about the
reaction of Kanav, his father Ashu told, Kanal has rather made me a regular
cyclist. The new cycle has made Kanav
conscious about his health at a tender age and disciplined to keep it neat and
clean for the next morning. His craze
for cycling will definitely motivate the youths of his age, to switch over to
cycling, especially when the prices of petrol had gone up, not suitable to the
pocket of a common man even, he said proudly.
Changing people's
minds towards a real cycle culture is a real change and the 'Pledge to Pedal'
can also encourage cycling among "sleeping" target groups, which
usually would not cycle, they include elderly, business people and people
seeking comfort.
Ashu also appealed to
the people to start paddling to a healthier and pollution free future before
the circumstances worsen for the people and environment.
