World Bicycle Day: Abia First Lady, FRSC advocate cycling to curb emission

Speaking at a cycling rally organised by the Federal Road Safety Corps in Umuahia to mark World Bicycle Day, Mrs Ikpeazu revealed that she had been riding bicycles since she was six years old and could attest to its numerous gains for the body including stamina and cardiovascular benefits.​

She commended the Federal Road Safety Corps for promoting bicycle riding as a means of mass transit as it would also reduce road traffic accidents if well organised. Mrs Ikpeazu, while demonstrating the importance and health benefits of cycling by riding a bicycle, urged government at all levels and civil society organisations to senstise the public on the benefits of cycling adding that it would reduce many kinds of sicknesses.

Also speaking, the​ Sector Commander of the FRSC, Mr. Paul Ugwu, said that the world cycling day is a day set aside to promote the use of bicycle as alternative means of transportation thereby helping to reduce the extent of crashes on the road, and reducing carbon emissions.​ He said the FRSC embarked on the cycling demonstration rally through the streets of the city in collaboration with Mrs Nkechi Ikpeazu because as the First Lady of Abia, she had shown tremendous interest in promoting cycling, safety, and health of Abia residents.​
