When I moved to Bangalore on Oct 2014, I had an option to buy a bike or a Cycle. Since I had chosen a rented house near office I preferred having a Bicycle. I wanted to cycle because it would add value for my health and also it helps being part of Go Green :-). Also It had been long time cycling after my school days.
I bought the Phantom Zip Rider on Oct 12 and since then I have been associated with Bangalore Cyclist Group and learnt a lot from them.
I had both good and bad experience with Cycle but most of it has been good. I was hit by bikers twice due to congestion in the traffic, both were minor. In Bangalore this is expected where everyone is urgent to reach their place irrespective of time. But again I learned from these experience. I also had many flat (Puncture) in the tyre, later the cycle vendor investigated and replaced it with the new one as it was old stock and hence the issue.
After I bought cycle, I was a bit more health conscious hence invested some time in health.
I got many friends from the cycling event and most of them were extreme cyclist, It was a surprise to see that they would ride for almost a day and never showed the exhausted feeling.
The last Sunday, we in ARM organised Cycle Day. Almost 40 people turned up for the event and it was a great weather to ride on Sunday morning as it had rained the previous night.
40 folks was a great number, being a part of organising team made me happy. We had a loop of almost 14km and it was great. We started with few stretches and then went for a ride.
Ride Along was our team slogan, motivating folks to use cycle for daily commute and also we discussed about the benefit of cycle rides.
After the ride, we had a healthy breakfast. We enjoyed the morning session :-)
