Bi-Cycle

After a long time,got the chance to write the words in my blog.
Recently,I have returned from Netherlands.As usual started my 'soft'life in my motherland. Once I got out from the house,I have no vehicle now.Back to 3 yrs,got in to the auto rickshaw to reach the office. In KPHB VI phase circle it is very hard to get the seat behind the auto driver. you are very lucky if you get a seat on the same day, you can breath relaxedly..oh my 'Dad' at last today I can sit freely after paying a 15 or 20 rupees to reach the office and our little heart can smile internally for few seconds. At that moment I felt, In the future people may fight for the 'reserved seats' in the auto rickshaw also. That's okay fine!stop nonsense for a while!

Thoughts are coming in mind to buy a small car. I have seen the few bi-cycles on the road. Gave a thought for a while! In Netherlands,I used to see the people from all the ages uses the bi-cycle in their daily lives.I made up my mind to buy a bi-cycle,and bought the 6-Gear bi-cycle.

First 2 days, it was very tough. Now I am enjoying the cycling everyday.Nice sweating,good relief after mental work, using the helmet on bi-cycle. only issue is problem with heavy vehicles.of course now I am cycling very safely.

What I suggest every one is, As an Indian, let's start build our nation towards good habits which we come across and try to teach nearer and dearer.

Stay tuned here....I will try to post my bi-cycle photo soon..please share the good news (or) good habits to every one.

Few tips to the Bi-cyclres:::
1)Go slowly, often we have to apply the brakes immediately, especially In INDIA people royally drive the vehicles in the wrong direction..especially careful with
autos.

2) Please do not take the diversions instantly, look back when you want to cross the road.

3) Use Helmets, Sun glasses(to avoid from the dust)

4) When the road looks down wards,do not enjoy the fastness, If any vehicle comes suddenly, you are no where in the world :-) better get down, walk or apply the breaks frequently.

Ramanjaneyulu - way to go and one has to take a small step and begin somewhere which you are exactly doing - this will surely encourage others to follow you and make the change in our society.

That's a nice initiative. I fwded this to my friends also.

I have the similar experiences in Belgium. Even people at 60s come to offices on cycles. I remembered the grand old days of India, where we have such nice practices (during our school days).

I'll also try this, after I reach Bangalore (but my office is very close to Office, that it takes only 5min on walk :-)
