Bengaluru Airport opens gates to cyclists every Sunday

Cyclists and fitness enthusiasts in Bengaluru can now plan weekends with a trip on their bicycles to the city’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) located at Devanahalli.

In a bid to move cyclists away from traffic and pothole-related woes in the city, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) Wednesday decided to allow cyclists on the campus.

According to BIAL officials, the KIA campus will be open to cyclists every Sunday from 6 am to 9:30 am. The initiative is in conjunction with Bengaluru Bicycle Mayor Sathya Sankaran, officials told indianexpress.com.

“We believe that this initiative will encourage more people to take up cycling. All cyclists are requested to follow safety guidelines during the time they spend at the Airport,” a BIAL spokesperson said.
