About the Event
A Ride for Creation and Harmony
The Inter Faith Cycle Rally was organised as part of the 8th Centenary Celebration of St. Francis of Assisi and World Bicycle Day. More than a cycling event, it brought together children, youth, adults and senior citizens from different faith communities to promote environmental awareness, healthy living, communal harmony and care for our common home.
Inspired by the Franciscan values of peace, simplicity and fraternity, the rally served as a visible witness that people from diverse backgrounds can journey together for a better tomorrow.
