Cycling
Cycling is one of my passions. I learnt to cycle probably when I was in fifth standard. But I got my own only in my 9th standard – a brown Hero Ranger. Later I upgraded to ‘BSA Photon’ – The cycle with speed of light
I cycled to college between 1995 and 2001. I even fitted my Photon with a local 6-speed gear system. But I lost in touch with cycling soon after getting a job. But in 2006 I bought Hero Thunder MTB. I wanted to cycle to work. I was with Symphony Services then. But I could not stick to the schedule. After joining Arghyam, I started cycling to office once in 15 days. Gradually the frequency went upto once in a week. But from December 2008 I havee been cycling to work everyday. Recently my family got two new bikes – a Trek 4300 and a Merida SUB-10V. I sold my Thunder off. Now cycle is my primary means of transportation. I am fitter than ever.
I find cycling very enjoyable and meaningful (both are very rare commodities in the modern world)
I store the route details related to cycling on GPSies
