Pedal to Fitness

For a while now I’ve been thinking about taking up cycling on a more regular basis. The global price hike on petrol and diesel seem to have setup most other people’s minds on the same road. Or maybe I’m beginning to read these articles now. Like they say, you only see what you want to see. While I was just thinking about cycling to work, my co-worker has already started.

Here are a couple of interesting links I came across, one through the article in rediff.

BumsOnTheSaddle – An apt name for a cycling site 🙂

This website is run by a couple of enthusiastic bikers, who are passionate about cycles. Not my type of cycles since I own the good old Hercules MTB, that was gifted by my wife. These guys are more serious, but they do have very interesting tips on how to do adjust cycles to the right height etc. The best part about this site for me is the fact that its possible to get real good quality imported cycles if you need to , right in the IT city.

The other article was on a slightly different note, it was about being able to rent a cycle at various points in the city. I think that would be real useful in a city like Bangalore. If you think about it, would you not like to rent one around commercial street, brigade road? Maybe park your car at Shivajinagar and then cycle to places around.

I’d think I will take that kind of option anyday. Try cycling, its fun, clean and your bit of green.
