THE BICYCLE COUNCILLORS OF GUWAHATI
The Bicycle Councillors are a team of change-makers who will take up leadership roles at the Ward level to promote cycling among all sections of the society. It is an honorary, voluntary and non-political position given by BYCS (Netherlands) to an individual for tenure of 2 years. The Bicycle Councillors will be working closely with the Bicycle Mayor to accomplish the objectives set out by BYCS and the Bicycle Mayor of that city.
Guwahati is the third city after Bengaluru and Mumbai to have Bicycle Councillors. Currently there are 16 Bicycle Councillors from as many wards. For the rest of the wards we will start the next phase after a few months.

THE BICYCLE AMBASSADORS OF GUWAHATI
Supporting the Bicycle Councillors will be a team of Bicycle Ambassadors who also have been selected from the wards. There can be maximum 2-3 Bicycle Ambassadors for each Ward. The selection process of Bicycle Ambassadors is same as for the Bicycle Councillors. The best performing Bicycle Ambassadors will get an opportunity to lead their ward after a period of 6 months. Currently we have 8 Bicycle Ambassadors from as many wards. For the rest of the wards we will start the next phase after a few months.
