India’s schoolgirls are leading a silent cycling revolution

Nibha Kumari, a native of Bihar, India’s poorest state, recalls how a vehicle transformed her life when she turned 15.

She cycled two hours per day from home to college and training sessions and again using a vehicle provided by the state government for two decades, six days per week.

” If I did n’t have a cycle, I do n’t think I could have finished high school. It changed my life”, says Nibha, then 27.<
