[PHOTOS] Rachel Ruto flags off Mama Cycling Awareness Ride

First Lady Rachael Ruto on Tuesday flagged off the Mama Cycling Awareness Ride 2023.

They cycled from State House and ended at Karura Forest in Nairobi.

Under the theme " Share the Road", the awareness ride aimed to promote road safety, courtesy, and non-motorized transport inventions for environmental sustainability.

The cyclists later joined the first lady in planting 200 trees at Karura Forest.

Mama Rachael said cycling as a form of non-motorized transport is a sustainable mode of transportation that cuts the number of motorists on the roads.

She added that it also contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions.

The first lady said that a combination of tree planting and cycling is a positive move toward creating sustainable cities.
