Cycling In Bangalore :Photos,Review Videos

Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use

Well my madness has sometimes no end.When I thought of reviving the lost in the 80's skill of cycling ,I wasn't shocked to see that I don't remember it at all now.Frankly,the last time I cycled was in my compound for half an hour when I was 10.:) Thou,I did practice it everyday for 5 minutes before my brother had his hand on it.

But that might be the case with most of us,some might have had it in college school some might have had it last when they were in their early teens.Cycling has lost its charm over years but thanks to Bangalore and some big sports sorties who are promoting cycling in Bangalore now to the extent that today Bangalore is known as the cycling capital of India.

We left early at around 8:00 am ,rented our cycles,practiced it for half an hour in the compound and then went straight to the roads.The location of decathlon is such that the outskirts provide you ample scope for downhill and uphill ride.The best thing about riding a cycle is the rush of air you are in contact with,that makes you think life's so simple.The change of frame with each second at a slow pace makes you wonder why life is village is so uncomplicated.

The best part about cycling is Bangalore is you dont have to face harsh weathers,the pleasant weather throughout the year makes it an ideal destination.The weekend gateways from Bangalore provide ample scope for cycling in and around Bangalore.

Me after the ride,the sun smiles down!!fiery and red

The whole experience of cycling on roads in Bangalore was awesome.A must for all,all age groups,if in Bangalore.

Thanks to Ankur Sheel And Vab for the fun we had that day ;).
