l’aller à bicyclette

Traveling around 7KM everyday in an auto-rickshaw to office took 20-30 minutes. Most of the time the rickshaw was stuck in traffic. I thought that riding a cycle to office wouldn’t take too much time. It will also  be healthy, nature friendly and saves money.

After few researches and trials on my friend’s cycle, I decided to by Hercules Roadeo A-100.

A cool ride with 21-speed shift gears. Other features of the cycle are:

  • Disk break in the front and V-break in the back – For effective breaking
  • Front and rear shock-absorb – For comfortable ride and a healthy back
  • Aero Profile Alloy Rims – Dust and Rust free
  • Quick release on the seat clamp – Easy to adjust seat height
  • Quick release on the front wheel – Easy to dismount while traveling
  • Alloy Frame – Light weight and better look and appeal

First few days of my ride was bit tiresome. I realised it is because I am not shifting the gears correctly. Once I got the technique right, the ride was superb. It took 35 – 40 minutes to reach office even in a heavy traffic. The benefit of having a cycle are:

  • Flexibility to move the cycle while in traffic
  • Taking short-cuts where only people and cycles can go
  • Taking the pavements when there is stalled traffic
  • Reach at almost same time everyday even there is heavy traffic

It’s been about two months since I have started riding my new cycle to office. Reminds me of my college days when I used to got to my college with my friend.
