Cyc-hed Out!

Have you ever rode a bicycle when you were a teenager ? Have you enjoyed it as much as you should have ? Have you tried to ride the bicycle with no hands ? Well too many questions but the reason I am asking you these things is this weekend I rode a bicycle after so many years and I had a lot of thoughts in my head . These were some of the following :

1. No signals , no traffic : 

You can maneuver through little by-lanes and spots or openings that would help you navigate through your city . Thus lesser amount of time spent on those stupid traffic lights . Dodging in every which way possible you obviously reach your destination before those buggers on vehicles do . And yes you could even drive on the wrong side of the road if you wanted to , but I would not count on it though .

2. From zero to Lance Armstrong :

Those unnecessary hours at the Gym . Trivial exercises . Too much on your plate to even go hit the gym probably cycling will help you figure out a good way to exercise . Lance Armstrong the man who could battle Cancer and the one has a passion for cycling will always be your role model . And if you were wondering what muscles you would train you should take a look here .

3. Drunken Driving :

Every time I go to a bar I need to park my bike somewhere safe so that I can pick it up the next day . But if you were to ride a bi-cycle , you wouldn't be worrying about it so much . You can totally get sloshed and ride it back home . Just do not forget to wear your riding gear if you are too tipsy I mean .

4. Jo Jeeta wahi sikander :

Everyday you ride your cycle you would have one song to sing . Pure inspiration from a hit movie . Blood pumping through your veins . Only at the end of the day you would not have a school to support for but still have a song to sing along . Tired of it you can even try and switch to a better song to impress thy women , something like " Sone ki cycle , Chandi ki seat "( FYI i heart bollywood ) .

5. Save on money : 

Low on cash this is the right choice for your travel escapades . It is by far the cheapest substitute for your traveling woes . Just hop on to your cycle and all your money problems begin to fade away . In the meantime Captain Planet appreciates your help towards a greener future . I can imagine Gaia in the background with her spiritual looks totally checking you out .

And again if  you were wondering why I brought up cycling today , it is cause of an initiative started by a man from Bengaluru who visions for a greener tomorrow .
