Alfaisal University proudly concluded its inaugural “Never Too Late to Ride a Bike” program—a groundbreaking initiative designed to inspire members of the university community to embrace cycling as a pathway to healthier, more sustainable living. Over the course of four weeks, participants engaged in expert-led sessions that focused on mastering fundamental cycling skills, bike safety, and the art of urban riding.

The program generated a remarkable response, with six dedicated individuals selected to form the first cohort. Throughout their transformative journey, participants benefited from personalized coaching, hands-on training, and a supportive atmosphere that encouraged them to push past their initial hesitations. Emphasizing both individual growth and collective spirit, the initiative incorporated team participation through group rides and collaborative challenges that fostered camaraderie and mutual support.

The event was led by Dr. Baraa Alghalyini and attended by esteemed faculty members, including Dr. Racha Khaled, Dr. Abdul Rehman Zia Zaidi, Dr. Rawan Elshaer, Dr. Farah Almassri, and Dr. Aya Alazam. Their leadership and active involvement further enriched the experience for all participants, underlining Alfaisal University’s commitment to fostering an inclusive and engaged community.

Reflecting on the experience, one participant shared, “This experience has been one of the most enriching and enjoyable I’ve had. The instructors created a comfortable and energizing environment, keeping us motivated and engaged throughout every session.” Such testimonials underscore the program’s success in building confidence and promoting an active lifestyle.

Looking ahead, Alfaisal University is already planning future sessions in response to high demand, ensuring that even more members of the community can discover the joy and freedom of cycling.
