Getting to write to you after a long time. Was stuck in depths of personal matters. Now things have lightened up.
Yes, bought a cycle last week for commuting to office and also for other errands. I am riding the cycle daily to my office. I am riding a cycle after I rode it last when I was in PUC 2.
The experience so far has been beautiful; though for the first 2 days, my thighs and arms squealed. Cycling is pure joy. As my new house is 10 kms from my office- tailor made for cycle travel, I decided to go that route.
There are encouraging signs all over for me to continue paddling. First being, time! Yes. It takes 1 hr 20 mins by bus to reach office and by motorcycle it takes around 40 mins and the cycle gets me there in 45 mins flat. Second, money. No explanations needed, right? Third, fitness. Fourth, mood. My mood remains upbeat most part of the day and that reflects in my personal and professional life. I also get to spend more time with my family, an added advantage. Add to that the advantages of no parking hazzles and minimal traffic delays... that makes for a great transport means.
Another important benefit is the fair MY TIME that it gives- that small time you want to spend with yourself.
While buying the cycle, there was a thought that Bangalore roads are not ideal for cycling... to an extent they are not, but not strong enough to discourage one to take up cycling.
I am planning for short getaways in and out side of Bangalore on weekends. Let's see how it all goes.
