Hello everyone,
Welcome to the blog. We are a bunch of cycling enthusiasts in Mumbai who took to cycling to keep ourselves fit and gradually realized what a wonderful experience it is to ride your cycles for long distances. We started doing little trips outside Mumbai to places like Khopoli, Vashi and now thing whole cycling thing has begun taking hysterical proportions. We are planning a trip to Delhi from Mumbai in the month of August and plan to reach Delhi on the 15th, which is our independence day.
Why are we planning to do this? A couple of reasons...
1. We want to say...Why can't a bicycle be thought of a viable means of transport. If a bunch of 28 yr guys can ride all the way from Mumbai to delhi (we are not professional cyclists...mind you)why can't people living within the vicinity of 5-10 kms of their office ride the bicycle to work. The advantages are many..better health, less conjestion on the road, less pollution.
2.We want to say...How about having a coach for bicycles in the local trains in mumbai. Commuters can ride to the station close to their homes, load their cycles in the train, alight at the station closest to their office and ride the cycle to work.

...and that's me...Gautam. My tryst with cycling began when I read Lance Armstrong's book "It's not about the bike". It's the most inspiring book I have ever read and I recommend it to all of you. I believe cycling is a great sport, a great way to exercise and travel. I urge everybody who reads this blog to try your hand at cycling.
