Riders Comments

”It feels wonderful to be a part of freedom rides. Especially the experience of being cheered up by people and by school kids, waiting to give a high-five to the riders. It made me feel humble and great to be a part of India.”

-- Kapil Shah, Team HBC

”The ride was outstanding. The event was meticulously planned. The feeding zones at various strategic locations made a huge difference in making the long ride very comfortable. I have to make a special mention of the volunteers, who were not only friendly but also encouraged the riders all the way. Their enthusiasm was very motivating. Freedom ride has set a high standard for organizing a fantastic bike ride, which is really hard to beat.”

-- Vijay Vankamamidi, Team HBC

”A wonderful ride, and an amazing event. Thanks Deena and the Atlanta Foundation for putting so much effort to making it an excellent event. With over 100 volunteers, and with every details thought off, including entertainment for kids, it was the best event I attended in India. I think that the real heroes of this ride are the workers from the Aliens group who did it on their simple cycles but did not give up and finish it. Way to go!”
