Pune, the city which was once known as the 'city of bicycles', is home to Lifecycle, India's first and biggest bicycle mall ever, launched on 27th January, 2010.

The mall is spread out over a 6,000-square feet area and houses a buffet of international bicycle brands. The brands come from America, England, France, Germany and Japan, and include Firefox, Trek, Giant, Schwinn, Ducati and many more.

Ulhas Joshi (also founding member of a cycling group 'Zenof') and Manish Sabde are the promoters of Lifecycle mall, in an interview with Business Standard, Joshi says, " We started Lifecycle store out of our passion for cycling.....Cycling connects you to nature, it keeps you healthy and most importantly it is pollution free."

To attract individuals and groups to take up cycling they have organized cycling holiday concepts under the name of Guardian Cycling Holidays, with tours around Switzerland, England and Sri Lanka!
