NAGPUR: As the TOI-MT - The Unstoppable Women 's Bike Rally approaches, participants are looking forward to a Sunday morning well spent with their peers, enjoying a sense of power and adventure.

"It is kind of a demonstration of women's power. When I read about this rally in the paper, the concept sounded very interesting and that is why I am going to participate in it. I am riding a bike since when I was allowed to have a licence and it was not because I wanted to prove anything but just because knowing how to ride a bike made many things easier for me. There is no reason why women should not ride a bike in this age when they are doing everything," said Aparna Bhandarkar, a woman entrepreneur who helps her husband in his business.

For Arundhati Deshpande, a retired beautician, the rally is a symbol of women's progress. "I am enjoying a retired life after an eventful one. But I like to take part in anything related to women's progress and that is why even if I cannot ride a motorcycle I will be riding to support the rally," she said.

Some others are also joining the rally in order to have a little fun and adventure. "I am taking part in the rally along with a few friends. When I read about this in the paper I was excited and am looking forward to an adventurous Sunday morning," said Dhanshree Yeokar, a student.

Joining the rally is also a mother-daughter duo, Mrunmai and Maitreyee Ghanote. "Today, a girl needs to be forthcoming and bold. And this rally symbolizes that and that is why we will be there on Sunday morning at Ram Nagar ground," Mrunmai said.
