Dear Friends, 



In June 2012, I cycled solo from Kullu (Manali) to Leh (Khardung La), the highest motorable road in the World. It was the most amazing experience of life. Through this expedition I am raising funds to have 10 households get

Hello,

 

 I want to buy a bicycle and I need more information and feedback on following three models.

       Shop A:

 

1)      Raleigh

 

Shop B:

2)       Hard Rock

3)      Fantom

 

Price range is between 8K to 10K.

 

All these models are seen only in single shop and vendor is claiming that these are made in USA ( Hard Rock and Fantom) and RSA (Raleigh). So please let me know your view.

It has been since May, 2010 since I drove my Hero Street Racer. It went through a tonne of problems then - punctured back tyre, loose brakes and odd sounds. The bicycle mechanics were pretty rough with it and so, I moved to the original bicycle shop where I had bought it from. This meant some lugging around but they got the job done. The rains started early, though and I was able to use it only once since.



I moved the cycle out of monsoon storage in August and gave it a clean down but… Continue

Dear All,

Recently I got a lot of help and answers from many members about choice of Hero Genius or Trek 3700/4300 for a longish cycle trip in Kumaon with my family.

We are 50( self), 45( wife) and 18, 15 and 13 yrs. Four of us are fit and one has more enthusiasm than fitness, so we are all looking forward to this trip which should last about 10 days.

We are perhaps cycling about 400+ km totally over mountain roads in Kumaon { no offroading is planned} perhaps 20% to 30% of this… Continue

Been doing some great high altitude training. Averaging 140 kms/ day in Ooty. Lots of speed work, sprint work n lots of power training. Feeling strong and good to go

I now share a Hero StreetRacer with my brother. Hopefully, by June 2010, I should have a bicycle of my own. I have been on the lookout through both modern catalogs and some traditional Indian bicycling company catalogs and I thought I should have the BSA SLR.



Going through their website, the closest thing that matched that description was something called the BSA Photon-Ex.

That's the bicycle I'm going…

"You've got a flat, dude", said Faisal, and went rolling by. It was high sun, 12 in the noon, and a flat would be a wrong end to a sweet day with the others inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park. The thought of riding through the congested Western Express Highway and the constant sewer stink along half of the route was still more palatable than either taking an autorickshaw or finding a repairman. As it was, I was traveling light...nothing on me, and nothing on the bicycle either. So no spare… Continue

Hm, after much deliberation I decided to do away with the excess luggage of Mudguards and Bicycle carrier that I'd been cycling with ever since I got my bicycle here in Mumbai. There had been no rains, there are no grand drainage leaks on my cycling routes, I haven't been carrying any load on my bicycle carrier, neither are there any children to cycle to school to, or (willing) girlfriends to carry around. No present utility, means no point of it. It was a straightforward decision.

So I… Continue

Ok, people, this is it... India's first-ever bicycle mall - Lifecycle - has opened at Pune. All types of bicycles, a wide range of brands from around the globe, all under one roof... a roof that sits over 6000 sq ft across three levels... it's big, it's good and it's here... time to plan a "Tour de Pune" ride, eh, folks...! :-) Read on...… Continue
