This is the start of the Kerala Cycle Rally - 2011 organised by the Energy Conservation Society from the Government Higher Secondary School, Udinur, Kasaragod, north Kerala, India.

The rally started on the 16th of September 2011 and the full distance was covered on a bicycle by one volunteer member of the E.C.S, Sri C.D.Francis, an employee of the Kerala State Electricity Board. Francis, a cheerful and principled young man was joined at various points by other bicycle enthusiasts during his marathon 657 km trekk from one end of the state to the other. The end of the rally on the 22nd September, coincided with the National Cycle Day and International Car Free day 2011.
