Nothing beats a bicycle when you want to negotiate through a crowded city or wish to leisurely enjoy sights and sounds. Little doubt that it’s a favourite with delivery boys, dabbawalas and tourists. Today, we spot ultra-modern versions of the bicycle on sale — the sport even features in the Summer Olympics. Celebrating the two-wheel wonder is The Bicycle Festival, which will take place this Sunday.

The team behind the event includes Zubair Lodi, owner of Bichanix, a bike servicing and rental store in Bandra, as well as volunteers including media professional Meenal Sharma, fashion designer Dipti Shah, scientist Anjum Roshan and Bilal Moolji, the owner of a graphic designing firm. They plan to make the festival an annual event.
