Apart from supporting such organisation to hold rallies to spread the green message across the

world powerfully we are currently exploring the concept of Bike to Work in Mumbai. We areinspired by our new friend and advisor Toto Sugito and his

Initiative:http://www.buzly.com/video/You_can_make_it_happen/242875/

We are looking for a Corporate House or a group of individuals from a particular locality in

Mumbai, who really care for our environment and are willing to adapt to Bicycles in their daily

commute.

So if youve ever stumbled across institutions or people who would like to pioneer the concept in

partnership with us, let us know :)
