Anyone above the age of 12 years can participate in the rally. A press release issued by Bhatkal Rotary club added "Cycling among youth for commuting has reduced considerably due to the rampant usage of motorised bikes, which ultimately has resulted in increased vehicular pollution and sedentary lifestyles, especially among the youth. Hence the proposed bicycle rally aims at addressing these concerns by creating awareness about the benefits and advantages of using bicycles, particularly among younger generation". The organisers have further request people especially the youth to participate in large numbers, and to assemble at the Bhatkal Taluka Stadium at 9.00 am on Sunday. (Bhatkallys News Bureau)
