These bags retrofit seamlessly into the cycle frame and have multiple pockets to help cyclists store items safely & separately while cycling. The quote, “My Chandigarh, My Responsibility” written on these bags brings a sense of ownership among the citizens to manage their waste responsibly by segregating at source. They addressed the audience as leaders of tomorrow and set them on this trajectory by tying the innovative bags on their cycles themselves.
