Once known as the city of bicycles, Bharatpur has seen its cycling culture fade as motorised transport has become the norm. Pedal Paathshala, Nepal's first bicycle club initiative and a winner of the 2025 Healthy Cycling Challenge, is working to bring cycling back by training women to teach children how to ride, maintain and understand bikes. The project aims to inspire a new generation of cyclists while demonstrating the value of investing in active mobility.
