This is awareness program created by Kathmandu Cycle City 2020, Cycle City Network Nepal. This group is formed by a network of cycle promoters who has taken their responsibility to promote cycling in feasible cities to decrease Carbon Footprint(Emission of carbon) of Nepal, and help by participating in the global fight of Climate Change. We aim to force better government policies to make cycling a better experience by doing regular follow up and series of events regularly. We plan to do research and analysis where needed.
