As the AVON BIG Greenathon starts, RJ Koushik has promised his listeners that once a week he will cycle to work. Through the activity promotion the BIG FM team will encourage the residents to use their bicycle at least once a week. The RJ's will motivate the listeners to support the cause by sending support messages and by adopting the habit of cycling. BIG FM has already started the promotion of the activity and is using various platforms to promote the same.

The activity is special in many ways, it targets to involve the people of the city in the activity that tries to help preserve the environment, now by doing so the citizens would get double benefits, the city would become a better place to live and the people can live longer to enjoy the same. Although there are many ways to contribute to the environment but the act of cycling once a week is the easiest, free and with this habit any one can contribute. While going to office, shopping, school or to visit a friend if instead of starting up the car or motorcycle, we decide to use our cycle the same would not only be free but would help reward us with great health and environment. BIG FM has always tried to reach out to the common man and engage them to give them an enriching experience, through this activity BIG FM is just trying to do the same. BIG has partnered with the leading cycle manufacturer of the country - Avon Cycles for this activity and is trying to reach out to the citizens of the country and to make a positive difference to the lives of every Indian..
