Motor (less) cycle diaries

Its been a few days I have been riding to work on my cycle. I’m not the only one. There are all kinds of people on the same route who ride cycles. Just that they don’t blog. That’s primarily because they might not know the concept of blogging, and because they don’t have the necessary finances to afford a computer and use the internet as easily as I can. These people don’t have much of a choice when it comes to personal transportation. I on the other hand do have that choice, but for reasons best known to me I opt to ride a cycle instead of a motorized transport vehicle.

last week, I bought a Lumala Platina special bicycle with 21 flashy gears, front suspension, thumb shifters and a super comfortable seat. Since then, I've been cycling to work quite regularly, and have been enjoying every moment of it.

Its a bittersweet experience I have while riding in the city, and I thought I could share some biased views favouring cyclists on urban roads these days, sepecially in a place like Pune.
