The World Car Free Street: The 41st edition of Fit India Sundays on Cycle turned into a nationwide celebration of fitness, culture, and sustainability as it coincided with World Car Free Day 2025, falling on Monday (September 22).

With the Department of Tourism coming on board as a special partner, this edition of Sundays on Cycle also spotlighted cycling not just as a fitness routine but as a sustainable way to explore the cultural and natural beauty of India.

In the national capital, the cycling drive at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was marked by a powerful nukkad natak (street play) on the theme “Impact of Car-Free Day on Health & Environment”. The performance given out by school children drew applause for driving home the message of cleaner air, reduced pollution, and safer, people-friendly streets. The World Car Free Street Day, falling on September 22, was celebrated today itself.
