First Cycle in India: The first bicycle arrived in India in the late 1800s during the British colonial period. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that bicycles became popular in India, particularly as a means of transportation for the middle class.

The first bicycle manufacturing company in India was the Raleigh Cycle Company, which was established in 1943. The company produced bicycles that were affordable and of good quality, and soon became popular among Indian consumers.

Today, bicycles continue to be a popular mode of transportation in India, particularly in rural areas where access to motorized vehicles is limited. They are also used for recreational purposes, as well as for fitness and exercise.
