With safety as the key theme, bikers were inducted through a ‘safety riding’ session by the Deputy Commissioner Police of Vashi, Mr. Arvind Salve who also flagged off the event. Post the inauguration, the bikers took to the road in packs of 30, each led by an IBW Marshal, who maintained the ride discipline. Medical support was also provided as the IBW team set up a tailing Ambulance service for the ride.
