We
have
seen
and
heard
about
the
mega
star
Salman
Khan
cycling
on
the
roads
of
Mumbai,
not
bothered
about
the
traffic
or
the
traffic
jam
that
gets
created
in
the
bargain.
Well,
this
time
round,
Salman
was
at
it
again
but
all
done
for
a
cause
that's
closer
to
Salman's
heart
than
anyone
and
anything
else:
'Being
Human'.
Yesterday
saw
Salman
Khan
leading
India's
first
ever
international
cycling
event,
'Mumbai
Cyclothon-Tour
De
Mumbai'.
This
event
was
grander
and
had
more
grandeur
than
all
the
recent
events
put
together.
Many
of
tinsel
town
residents
had
assembled
to
give
the
event
a
star
glow.
A
huge
crowd
lined
up
to
see
the
cyclists
on
the
ever-busy
Bandra
Reclamation
grounds.
The
crowd
consisted
of
many
amateur
cyclists,
working
professionals,
children,
and
even
housewives!
There
were
a
total
of
14
professional
cycling
teams
competing
with
each
other.
Each
world
standard
team
was
present
along
with
the
Indian
national
cycling
team.
Talking
on
the
occasion,
Dr.
Raghuram,
President,
TI
Cycles
said
that
"We
aim
to
help
put
Mumbai
on
the
international
cycling
map
as
well
as
contribute
to
a
healthier
and
greener
environment
through
the
BSA
Hercules
India
Cyclothon,
Mumbai-2010".
On
the
Khan
household,
besides
the
'most-Wanted'
Salman,
one
also
saw
presence
of
his
brother
Sohail
Khan
and
also
sister
Arpita,
who
seemed
to
be
happy
about
her
brother
taking
her
on
a
bicycle
ride.
All
in
all,
it
was
definitely
an
event
to
remember!
