NEW DELHI: Indian cricket team skipper and bike enthusiast
Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Saturday announced the first edition of the Bike Festival of India, South East Asia's largest bike festival.
BFI will be a unique platform for biking enthusiasts to come together, to be a part of this first-of-its-kind biking adventure in India. While adventure is an integral part of BFI, the most unique feature is that it accentuates the importance of safe biking.
South East Asia's leading biking festival will bring together over 120 biking communities from across the nation to participate in a series of events as part of the festival whose finale will be held in October this year at the mecca of biking – The Buddh International Circuit.
The event marks the coming together of Event Capital, a division of the Laqshya Media Group, and Rhiti Sports, India's leading sports management firm. The event has been conceptualized by Vikram Shankar- VP of Event Capital and Ikjot Singh- the superbiker who also is the founder MS Dhoni, aside from being one of India's most prolific cricketers, is also a passionate biker and hence has chosen to grace the occasion with his presence.
When he's not knocking the ball out of the park, Dhoni is known to hit the road with one of his many bikes. His love of biking is celebrated as much as his batting prowess.
