Since its inception in December 2024, the Sundays on Cycle initiative has witnessed phenomenal reach--having touched over 5,500 locations and seeing participation from more than 3 lakh citizens.

The movement has also garnered over 3.44 billion digital impressions, with support pouring in from icons like Sania Mirza, Milind Soman, Emraan Hashmi, John Abraham, Imtiaz Ali, Shankar Mahadevan, and the legendary Dara Singh, among others.

Several Sports Authority of India (SAI) centres as well as Khelo India Centres (KICs) feature community-focused fitness activities such as Zumba, rope-skipping, guided yoga sessions, and free health check-ups by experts from the National Centre of Sports Sciences and Research (NCSSR) during the Sundays on Cycle events.

As per an official statement from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, with World Bicycle Day scheduled for June 3, today's event will not only reinforce the message of cycling's big role in fitness but also serve as a collective tribute to India's armed forces.

What a wonderful initiative! Cycling is indeed the perfect fitness solution for India - affordable, eco-friendly and good for health. Our PM's vision for Fit India is truly inspiring. More power to such campaigns! 🇮🇳🚴‍♂️

While I appreciate the initiative, I wish they'd focus more on creating cycling infrastructure in cities. It's great to promote cycling, but our roads aren't safe for cyclists. First fix the infrastructure, then encourage people to cycle.

Cycling is in our culture! Remember how we all used to cycle to school in the 90s? Glad to see celebrities promoting this simple yet effective fitness activity. Maybe now parents will stop buying bikes for college kids and get them cycles instead.

The combination of cycling with other fitness activities like Zumba and yoga is brilliant! This makes fitness more accessible to people with different interests. Hope they expand this to smaller towns too, not just big cities.

Great to see Indian Railways supporting this! They should consider offering cycle rentals at major stations to encourage last-mile connectivity through cycling. Would help reduce auto-rickshaw dependency and pollution.

As someone who started cycling during lockdown, I can vouch for its benefits! Lost 8kg and saved so much on fuel costs. More than celebrities, we need local cycling groups to keep the momentum going beyond these events.
