Ferozepur youth designed eye-catching cycle to give message to reduce pollution in air
Ferozepur, January 10, 2020: A Ferozepur youth has designed a cycle with attractive look seen cycling in the city, making an appeal to switch over to cycle to reduce pollution in the air.
Pritpal Singh, 18-year-old, Plus Two pass with one year Diploma in Welder from Industrial Training Institute was seen today cycle with an attractive look on the busy road.
On seeing him cycling on a sunny day today, certain people on the roadside stopped him to have a look on his self-designed cycle. During the interaction, he said, Air pollution and excessive noise harm our health and our environment. With the increase of autos on the roads, the air is being polluted with carbon monoxide – a toxic air pollutant produced largely from vehicle emissions.
Keeping this in mind, I have developed the bicycle fitted with battery, lights and dummy silencer giving an attractive look to give a message of pollution-free environment, by switching over to cycle, he added. I drive it on charged battery at a speed of 30 km and one-time charge can run up to 70 km, said Pritpal Singh. I have spent about Rs.50,000 in designing this cycle with accessories, just to give an eye-catching look to the people.
I am looking for a job and if I don’t get, I will try to go abroad for higher studies besides looking for a job to be self-dependent. In the meantime, I move in the city on my cycle which has become the source of attraction for auto-owners, to give a message to switch over to cycle to attend to any job locally within a radius 4-5 kms, to give a pollution-free environment, which is being polluted by the burning of fuel.
Not only this, Pritpal Singh has put a tag line on his Whatsapp status – Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
