Thanks to my friend Giri’s rejuvenated interest in cycling and his enthusiastic plans to travel to nearby places, the dormant cycling monster in me awoke today. We left at 5:30 am – Giri was on his chic new sports bike BSA Mach Racer, and I was on my mature (wouldn’t call it old) Hamilton. He was enthusiastic about a trip to Haji Malang (Malangad), a good 18 km away – which amused me slightly because I was riding a bike after ages and was not sure of my stamina.
We returned in 4 hours – successfully. It was a refreshing but a very exhausting trip. Weather was pleasant – and being a Sunday, it is a “free” day today. No worries.

Since you are reading this, I’d suggest you could also read travelogue about my bicycle expedition from Goa to Mumbai.

Cycling must be fun! I have seen people doing Manali-Leh trip on a cycle (in many days) and I wonder if we would graduate from walking to cycling kind of holidays.
nice photos - you should start a photo blog
Hi,
I am originally from bombay and have been passionate about cycling since a very young age, I was wondering if there are any cycling clubs in bombay that organize rides over the weekends.
I am based in the US and am planning a visit to bombay in summer and thought would hit the roads on a bicycle rather than a car/motorcycle. I typically would be interested in short rides (40-60miles/ 60Km-90Km) and would consider long rides (100+miles) only if there are enough people in the group.
Please let me know.
thanks
