Not U Turns I don't - that must have been much slower. Just that when you are using clipless pedals, there's no way you can regain your balance when you lose your front wheel

@@axebuzz You are right, I hope you are ok!! It seemed like you oversteered way too much at high speed. In Urban riding I usually take corners with alot of patience exactly for that. Ride on brother!

@@S1Carter7 Yup...was a tad careless coz that was the 4th loop (so my 4th turn at that exact spot) and wasn't expecting anything untoward at that speed. Lesson learned :D

Yup...but was just better than the cacophony of Mumbai traffic which was the other option

Phew, Yes...but I did signal a U turn (which I do even if there isn't any vehicle behind me just to set the habit) so the vehicle behind would have slowed down anyway.

@@axebuzz You have too much trust in other drivers.

@@Shri_V Hahahahahah...Not Really...I scream at most of em coz I know they wouldn't be paying attention!

Thanks so much. Am glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you so much, Shrdha 😊

Hahahaha....Absolutely 🤣🤣🤣

MIG Club, Mumbai

Still not comfortable with distances over 50 km. Prefer shorter distances with higher average power (and speed). Took me over a year to get to a 30kmh average speed for a 30km loop and another 2 years to get to a 34 kmh. But yes, I cycle only once a week and solo - so if you train with a higher frequency (and consistently), you should progress faster.

Haha...Varanasi is the last place to take a Road bike but I did manage to get a cycle ride through its streets thanks to that Rickshawalla .

@@axetrac10 Hah...you could have ridden that cycle yourself and charged misha. Exercise + money at the same time.

I might just have to pay myself in that case... 😀

Thanks Chikoo bhai :)

Thank you so much, Doc :)

Thanks a ton, Chikoo bhai :)

Its absolutely super. My favourite place to travel to...and now ride :D

The wheels went in the boot and the body was propped up on the back seat like a lil baby...which she is incidentally :D

Thanks so much, Ashish. Riding Mumbai roads is a thrilling adventure for sure. 😅

So that's what he said!!! You wouldn't believe how many times I played this back but still couldn't figure it out. :D Thanks bhai. But yes, I expected him to continue walking but he suddenly stopped - Fortunately he didn't decide to jump backwards as I had positioned myself already to the right at the intersection.

I realised why...only later. I had mentioned 'i love TT' as one of my tags. :D

Thanks so much Doc. It works both ways...the more I get to discover it - the more I love it.

Set out at 6.30 am. But winters - so it remained dark for around 20 - 25 minutes into the ride.

Ah, missed adding that. It happened just before I asked the autorickshaw driver for directions at the Royal Palms estate.

Hahaha...They almost got a piece of my cycle as well. Missed them by a whisker :D

Yes...not scenic...but wild in terms of speed coz you can really build the momentum without any signal stops (except for police nakabandis). Elbow/Knee pads are not great for road bikes (too bulky and hot). I cannot even get myself into one of those cycle jerseys coz of the sleeves - even though they might make my cycling more efficient in terms of wind resistance.

Lol, Yes. I had to shift from the 50 crankset to the 34 once I realised that the 20% gradient is not going to stop for a while. :D The Doongerwadi road would have made a super descent into Pedder Road but the block meant I could re-route through Chowpatti as well - which had some lovely visuals.

Thanks Chikoo :)

Chikoo bhai...just uploaded. Maine Malabar Hill ka route plan kiya tha but Pedder road descent was blocked so went around through Chowpatty sea face. Gateway of India mera next South Mumbai ride ka destination hai for sure.

@@axebuzz cool. Dekhta hu

Thanks Groova dear. Yeah...totally entertaining working on the edits :DDD

Yes. The Juhu ride ( 2nd september) surprised me as well. Never seen Linking Road leading to Juhu so empty. Was an absolute pleasure riding through. :)

That's an idea. Pass an electric current through it and its efficacy will improve significantly 😂

Thank you Chikoo bhai

Thanks a ton, Anand :)

Thank you so much, Groova :)

Sonal Grover Thanks my dear Groova 😊
