The 34th edition paid tribute to the postmen of India, the country’s original cyclists, who for decades have connected people, places, and stories, often on nothing more than a sturdy bicycle and a strong sense of duty. India Post organised the cycling movement in its nationwide network of more than 1.5 lakh post offices. Around 3000 Namo Fit India Clubs also participated in the event.

With their khaki uniforms and humble cycles, India’s postmen have become timeless symbols of fitness, trust, and community service. On Sunday, the nation honoured its legacy and cycled with it.
