Arun Khedwal

As a passionate cyclist and Super Randonneur, I have completed over 1,200 long-distance rides covering 45,000 kilometres. I have also led a cycling club in Panvel with over 400 riders and hosted long-distance cyclists in our city. My recent initiatives include:

  • Donating cycles to underprivileged girls.
  • Motivating 50+ new riders to embrace cycling.
  • Recognising cyclists’ achievements.
  • Engaging youth to nurture future leaders.

What are the next steps now that you are the bicycle mayor?

My dream is to make Panvel Pedalcity—a bicycle-friendly city recognised globally. I aim to inspire citizens, professionals, and students to adopt cycling as an eco-friendly, economical, and healthy mode of transport.

I plan to:

  • Raise awareness about cycling’s benefits.
  • Engage people of all ages and backgrounds.
  • Collaborate with authorities for better cycling infrastructure.
  • Empower youth to lead sustainable initiatives.

Cycling reconnects people with the environment and community. Together, we can transform Panvel into a model city for sustainable urban living and inspire change worldwide.
