Welcome, Anil! :-)

Superbly written, Amit. And a very practical tone of voice, which makes it very attemptable. I will start with a Friday ride and see how it goes.
Do you cycle regularly? To work/college? To meet friends/run errands? To basically get around the city? Well... welcome aboard! :-)
"Cycle to Work" promotes cycling as an alternative means of commuting.
Ride safe. Have fun. :-)
I ride 10Kms daily.
How many actually cycle now-a-days, considering the heat?
@Dhaval - Congrats! Good going! :-)
i guess this community is welcome to both sets of people - the one's who already cycle to work and ALSO to the one's who have deep intention to do so, but wanting some guidance to get going!!!...
hey btw... i won a Chennai superking merchandise day…
me and 3 friends from Mira Road are planning to go to SGNP this Sunday.....
we wanted to go last Sunday but then it was not possible because all were buzy with some work.....
same here...just for a comment...great job guys...cycle 2 work really seems to be a success..keep it up...in college now but will cycle to work asap
Joined in just to leave a comment - this is exvellent stuff - you guys are doing a great job - will now need to actually figure out how to cycle to work :) - Great going
hey Mehul go to the epaper Mumbai edition on your left side
Clicking on that link gave me Delhi edition of the paper, I was wondering why I don't see the article on page 2.
Here's the article
Earlier it was not readable, now it is.
Nice user manual for C2W.
Will start riding to office soon.

...valuable advice from a seasoned rider....
hey! all good see you cycling to work, I m doing this since 3 months every day (in Hyderabad) for a distance of 9 KM one way. Also created a site www.bike2work.in and started giving some publicity thru' mails and posters @ work, now few more have jo…
Good advice !
@Amit - To fight the pollution, there are a variety of masks available... I've never used any, so I wouldn't be able to comment on them...
I trust your bike has a carrier, so you can strap the bag (containing your samples) on to it...
@Mallik - Ah, I was lucky, I guess... the Kensington cable I'm using is not the one I used for my laptop... this one was left behind a few years ago by a visiting colleague from the US... I couldn't use it for my laptop, but I figured it would be a…

- Raleigh Ridge Disc
- My favourite ride so far:
- Mumbai-Goa-Mangalore-Dharmasthala-Bangalore-Andhra (NH17, NH48 and NH4); Mahalaxmi to Dahanu and back (the Randonneurs - Audax ride); Pune to Mumbai on NH4 (the old ghats road); Pondicherry to Chennai on the ECR; Mulund to Uttan (via Aarey, Malad, Marve, Manori, Esselworld); Offroading at Waagbeel; night rides across Mumbai; night rides to Panvel; climbing the Kharghar hill and the gravity ride downhill at 50+ km/hr (during the Chembur-Kharghar ride); the 'Batata Wada' ride (to Falaspa-phata)!; climbing the Yeoor hill and zipping downhill!

Just call me BOSS - a "Bum On Saddle/Seat"
Or, to wax more eloquent:
"Heart on nature,
hands on the handle,
mind on the road,
I'm just a Bum On a Saddle!" :-)
Enjoying life - every moment of it - to the fullest! :-)
Age: 39 years; spent the last 29 of those on the saddle (all kinds - cycle, bike, camel and horse). My clients are quite used to me riding right across town for our meetings. :-)
Lone Rider; but happy to provide company to those who want it. :-)
A Corp Comm pro - After working for others since 1993, I now work for myself... in every sense of the term. :-)
Fav pastime: When not on the saddle, spending fun times with family, esp'ly my 8-year-old daughter (who's nuts about cycling too - wants to join me on my long solo jaunts!) and my wife (who likes cycling but prefers walking...) :-)
I enjoy music, I compose, sing, dance, write, act... but hey, why make a song-n-dance of it, eh!
Foodie... not gourmet, just a plain ol' hog! Paani-puri, anyone? (Thank God for cycling, else i prob'ly wouldnt fit thru my main door!) :-)
Keep smiling. Ride safe. Have fun. :)

Waagbeel - off-road, off-beat, off-icially cool! :-)
Offroading... within the city... well, almost!
Who would have thought it... that one could enjoy a perfectly wonderful offroading experience so close to home – and that too, such a beautiful, serene ride – within a few kilometres of where I live (Mulund – a happy, happening suburb in Mumbai).
As usual, I have someone else to thank for this experience – this time, it was Jo (a quick intro is called for here - I guess I could call him a ship-and-shop guy – he’s an ex-merchant navy pro who’s now… Continue

- Hi Anil, you have an eye for what makes a good picture. And you had the best vantage point this time, Kasara - the view of rail......etc. It was a very interesting photo essay of your journey. Keep up the good work. However I wish if you could take the pains to explain your shots and maybe if you could add some videos! Once again good job Anil. It was as if I was there enjoying the ride with you. Thank you.
