those were the days.................

Move ahead..but people seem to move behind..its nice to ride a cycle when the climate is good and when u do not cause traffic jams for motorists..but is this practical..we have horrible temperatures..even worse roads..and even worst traffic sense and most horrible pollution....so practically we cannot drive without hurting others and our own selves...infact we will cause traffic jams,accidents for hundreds of fellow road users and cause havoc and nuisance ...millions of barrels of oil,petrol is wasted on our roads ..due to bad roads,irregular planning,poth holes,lack of basic infra-structure,poor engineering and planning skills of our engineers and poor work force..and horrible ethics..so cycles will cause more havoc than good..

IT IS GOOD IDEA FOR ANYBODY STAYING APPROX 5-6 KMs FROM THEIR WORK PLACE. ANYTHING OVER AND ABOVE WILL BE TOO MUCH IF ONE WANTS TO CYCLE EVERYDAY TO OFFICE. ONE NEEDS TO BE MORE REALISTIC, JUST TO SIT AND IMAGINE THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO CYCLE IS NOT ENOUGH. INDIAN CONDITIONS ARE NOT IDEAL TO CYCLE LONG DISTANCE TO OFFICE, SPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A DIGNIFIED POSITION WHERE APPEARIANCE COUNTS. BUT REMEMBER IF YOUR OFFICE IS 5-6KMs (MAX) THEN IT WOULD BE A FASNTASTIC IDEA TO CYCLE YOUR WAY TO OFFICE. ONE MUST GO FOR MOUNTAIN TREK CYCLES TO CONSERV ENERGY. ALSO IT WILL KEEP YOU ENORMOUSLY FIT !!! BUT FORGET ABOUT IT IF THE DISTANCE IS LONG.
