The bike rally was organized to create awareness on road safety in connection with the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims takes place on the third Sunday in November every year as the appropriate acknowledgment of victims of road traffic crashes and their families.
