Cycling
Keeping the promise, I cycled once this week also :-)...
I have realised that we Indians are totally give up, I mean there is no respect for people. These 'big' guys who have psued bikes and cars to flaunt and for that matter even the cab driver, they care for no one, and look down to pedestrian and bikers like in-animate 'things' and don't even give a second thought while zooming near them.
First of all no one will follow the lane discipline, then will overtake from both sides, and on top of everything they just push the poor guys like me (bikers/pedestrians) out of the road. I mean when on the earth we learn the most basic thing which makes us human, Respect. It feels odd to call this genre Human, maybe we are just like animals.
Its high time that a couple of more initiatives on the lines of 'jaagore' are designed. For e.g. all of us should try to atleast cycle a day in a week to office, this will help in reducing traffic, pollution, keeping fit and what not. And more importantly, I do not know how will this be done, there needs a strict compliance to Traffic rules. Not sure how easy it will be to teach the adults, but for schools, it should be just a try away. It has to begin from there.
Before I end this post, which actaully meant nothing, but I just got to crib and vent out frustation about what happened with me in the morning. There was this guy on the motorbike and I was on Cycle, he wanted to take a left turn. This smart man neither bothered to give indicator nor any hand signal, I was just about to hit by him, missed it somehow, and just to make my case stronger, he wasn't wearing helmet. And now after doing this, he gets angry on me, shouted on me and was looking at me like I was some crap guy on bike, bloddy #&*#@(....I mean how rude and illogical can one be.
Had I got time and courage in the morning, I would have definitely stopped and confronted him, not physically (would never do that), but definitely created a scene.
Time to sign off...
I am just loving this Biking stuff and I am sure more and more people will take biking as a mean to travel in near future :-)....
