I remember the time when, as a child, I stepped on a bicycle for the first time. The thrill, the rush of freedom, the sheer happiness of gliding on the road was priceless. In time, we all may have lost touch with the beloved vehicle of our childhood, but now we have another opportunity to get reacquainted with the bicycle. This simple change in the daily routine can achieve multiple goals – you can skip all the city traffic to reach your destination, while you make yourself fit and healthy. What’s more, you are doing a noteworthy contribution in reducing vehicular and noise pollution, thus keeping our planet safe and green for the future generation.

The BSA Hercules Cyclothon in Mumbai is an excellent starting point for the cycling lifestyle. I will be at Bandra on February 21, 2010 with a resolve to finish the corporate ride of 12 kilometers. I sincerely hope many of us participate in the cyclothon. All you need is a bicycle, stamina and mental strength to ‘just do it’. You can visit the official website to register and know more. Let’s glide on the wheels and rediscover the childhood glee again. See you at Bandra!
