Hyderabad is gearing up to provide a significant boost to its bicycling community with the impending opening of the nation’s pioneering solar roof cycling track on October 1.
Special Chief Secretary for Municipal Administration & Urban Development (MA&UD), Arvind Kumar, unveiled a teaser video on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), creating excitement for the imminent inauguration.
This groundbreaking cycling track spans an impressive 23 kilometers and boasts three lanes, with two expansive stretches converging at Narsingi Junction. The first stretch spans 8.5 kilometers, running from Nanakramguda to the Telangana State Police Academy, while the second extends for 14.5 kilometers, connecting Kollur to Narsingi.
The track has been meticulously designed to cater to the needs of cyclists, offering a range of facilities that include ample parking space, surveillance cameras for security, food courts, drinking water stations, and well-maintained restrooms. Additionally, to cater to the cycling community, the track features bicycle repair shops and bicycle docking stations, with rental services also on the horizon.
One of the key innovations of this cycling track is its solar roof panels. These panels not only protect cyclists from the sun, rain, and adverse weather conditions but also provide an added layer of safety by separating cyclists from main traffic. Moreover, they contribute to the production of clean energy, making the track self-sustainable while ensuring 24×7 illumination for cyclists.
The forthcoming inauguration of this solar roof cycling track is expected to revolutionize cycling in Hyderabad and serve as a model for sustainable urban infrastructure.
