FirstRide.in, in association with Radio Mirchi, National Road Safety Organization, Bangalore City Traffic Police and 40+ biker clubs, organized a ‘Helmet Safety Ride’ in Bangalore on Sunday, September 28th . The event was held at Cubbon Park from 10 am to 2 pm with a motive to assist the city’s Traffic Police in its constant endeavour to make roads safer. The initiative was driven by the core message: ‘Safety isn’t a slogan, it’s a way of life’,
More than 600+ bikers supported the cause by riding for about 20 km across the city and making people conscious of the importance of helmet usage and road safety. Winfred, one of the participants sponsored by FirstRide, added an interesting element to the event by solving a minimum of 30 Rubik’s cubes of 3X3X3 while relentlessly riding his bicycle without a break. Through this unprecedented achievement, Winfred made a victorious entry into the India Book of Records. He will also soon be attempting for Guinness world record at the Test Drive Festival 2014, Bangalore to be organized by FirstRide.in October.
