IN THE SPOTLIGHT: MAYUR JAIN FROM MUMBAI

Everymonth I intend to bring a spotlight on one cyclist from around the world. I will introduce him/her briefly by talking about their major accomplishments and do a rapid fire question and answer segment.

He is an author of a self-help book ‘HI FIVE!’ published worldwide in the year 2020 and available online on amazon.in and other portals.

5 WAYS COMPANIES CAN ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO CYCLE TO WORK
