About
I am a passionate engineer come manager who has enthusiasm in cycling, swimming and scuba diving. I live and commute in Bangalore, India.
How long have you been cycle commuting?
I have been cycle commuting regularly for work for the past 2.5 years.
Back in my university, we were not allowed to have powered vehicles, so cycling was the best way to go for classes. When I came down to Bangalore for internship, I realised the traffic here is pathetic and cycling can get me faster to work. I brought down my cycle on a weekend from my university and rode it for the next 2 months. When I started my job in the same company, I knew what I had to do…
Your Commute
My current commute is 5km one way. Soon it is going to be 12km one way 6 days a week (was going to be from today but for COVID). The terrain is mostly a flat highway with some flyovers. Weather is mostly pleasant with some occasional rains.
Work currently has no facilities, just parking for motorbikes which I use for my cycle too. However, I have a membership of a gym chain which is practically everywhere. I shower and get changed there.
What is the best thing about Cycle Commuting?
Major advantage is speed in a city like Bangalore. The second advantage is the clarity of mind I get when I cycle.
