Cycling - My Experience

I got this idea to go office by cycle long back. But I was not sure if I can do that. Because the distance to office from home is over 6 km. I have gone to school in cycle but it is just 3km. After serious thinking, I decided to go for it. Bought a new cycle for 4.5K. It has been 2 months now and the journey is smooth. Following are the advantages when you cycle.

  1. I save money in bus travel (the govt recently hiked the bus charge) and on the gym. I save 1000 plus a month.
  2. Cycling is really good for health. Instead of spending money for gym, you can cycle for one hour everyday (I cycle for one and half hour)
  3. You become one of the few non-polluters of the environment. Instead of going for bike or part of bus, here you live with the nature and for the nature.
  4. You get time to be peaceful and think during cycling time. This Bangalore traffic really frustrated me by long waiting time for buses

I would like to recommend everyone to use cycle instead of going for a bike if you live within 5km radius of your office
