A cycle and a vintage car rally, and a street art event held as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav brought a sense of gaiety on the main roads of the city on Sunday.
A host of events were held by Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL), which has been into widening roads and other development and city beautification projects.
It began with the bicycle rally in which over 100 people from the We are Cycling and Mangalore Cycling Club took part. The youngest of the cyclists were Ayan from Kudroli and Samyukta from Panjimogeru. A dedicated lane was earmarked for the cyclists, who started their ride at 8.45 a.m. from the A.B. Shetty Circle. They covered a nearly 10-km long route and reached the Exhibition Centre grounds at Lalbagh by 11 a.m. A vehicle of a bicycle firm followed the cyclists and picked up those who had problems with their cycles or those who suffered exhaustion.
