The cycling rally, held at D-Chowk and Jinnah Avenue, drew enthusiastic crowds and reinforced the message of green mobility. Organizers emphasized that cycling is not only a recreational activity but also a sustainable mode of transport that reduces pollution and promotes healthier living.

By combining sports with public health advocacy, the event successfully encouraged citizens to adopt active lifestyles while supporting environmental sustainability. It demonstrated how community-driven initiatives can inspire positive change in both personal health and urban living.

This rally and hike mark a significant step toward building a culture of fitness and eco-consciousness in Islamabad, setting an example for other cities across Pakistan
