Fellow Cyclists,

According to the article titled "Danger In The Air: Cycling biggest trigger of heart attack" on page 19 'Times Trends' of today's Times Of India, I have a few things to say:-

As its a proven fact, that, cycling is totally NON-POLLUTING, thereby 100% eco-friendly & a boon to the environment, why are not all governments around the globe promoting cycling & discouraging motorized vehicles in the first place? Are they under any kind of pressure from vehicle…

The Tour d’Afrique bicycle race and expedition is now just over a quarter of the way into its journey.  For the past week the racers have been slogging up, and sailing down, the Ethiopian Highlands.

After 26 stages and 3097 km, the 2011 race is turning into a battle between 2 cycling veterans;…

The team at Tour d'Afrique have dreamed up some pretty cool bike tours over the past 9 years - but this year, along with their 'epic' trans-continental tours, they're also going to be doing a few 'spotlight' tours.

 'Spotlight' tours, which focus on a particular section of a country and are much shorter than the epic tours, are being planned for Namibia and Turkey.

Spotlight on Namibia

A cycle tour through the surreal splendour of Namibia…

By all accounts, the riders on the Indian Adventure Bicycle Tour from Agra to Kunyakumari are having an incredible time. Tour Leader, Shanny Hill, shared a bit of what the riders have been experiencing over the past few days.

"The route has far exceeded expectations. The logistics and planning to make it work have filled my days over the last several months and it’s very rewarding to see the smiling faces of riders coming into the hotels after another successful day on the…

Congratulations to Vinod Punmiya

Former professional cycling champion Vinod Punamiya reached Mumbai, claiming to have completed the distance of 1485 km from India Gate, Delhi to Gateway of India here in 31 hours on bicycle. The 53-year-old Punamiya set off from Delhi at 7 am on Saturday and reached the Gateway of India at 2 pm, delayed by an hour thanks to heavy traffic from Andheri (in Mumbai) onwards, he said.

His aim was to make it in 30 hours. "We reached Mumbai in 30 hours…

Thanks to all fellow cyclists who made me feel so welcome this morning at Carter Road,

especially Sunil and Carl.

Enjoyed the laps at Carter Road, and also the ride back to Chembur by myself.

Request Ranjit, Rajesh and Mihir to send me (VK) friend requests here,

so that I can keep in touch in future. Unable to send the three of you

friend-requests from my side, as there are more than one person with

your first names here on…

I got two friend invites today on this platform (cyclists.in).

I recognised one as a cycle-shop-vendor from Vashi based on his member-name.

The other appeared to be a genuine fellow cyclist of my age-group.

I accepted the latter.

I have kept the former on hold, and came here to make this posting.

I have a small concern here....

On this platform, HOW does one distinguish cycle-shops-vendors v/s fellow-cyclists ?

I'd urge the…

Hi All,

Lance Armstrong, who recovered from cancer to win the Tour de France a record seven times, formally announced his retirement from cycling on Wednesday, a month after his last race.

The 39-year-old, who made a comeback to the sport two years ago, said he was quitting for good to spend more time with his family and his charities. "Today, I am announcing my retirement from professional cycling in order to devote myself full-time to my family, to the fight against cancer and to leading…

       This being my first participation in the Mumbai Cyclothon, I was all excited and eagerly awaiting the day. Came the day and the full  event was conducted in a fashion as the very name suggest " amateur ride" . Like a herd of cattle we were let out of the enclosure, that too by some one shouting something to the effect " Come on guys. Go lose some weight " to which an apt reply was shouted back " Madam you need to more than us ". 

   As time has no value in India we started a…
