everything aside - I think a lot of people are interested in cycling, I personally do. Let's rethink and ask ourselves how many of us can buy one of them cycles. Since this podcast got published just before Dashain, we all know majority of the people return home, which also means that they are here mostly either for study or work 'generalising'. Fyi, only 23% population in Nepal are salary based personals (earning in Nepal is a telltale story), we can imagine what percent of them population could be working on daily basis and how many of them have proper financial flexibility (there's not even a pool its a tub). Being an extreme sport as you mentioned also requires an extreme budget even for an entry level. YES! these bloody cycles are expensive not complaining they don't come cheap sadly, and I don't expect them to be either. Let's imagine a scenario of a 14 year or older asking parents to buy a cycle, we all can imagine the response and not every one is Reaper (ahm). I and my friend often see some branded cycle and drool over it, imagining the price in the hindsight, relatable right? I bought a one of 18K thinking what difference could it make and sadly it did. However I see cycle in the Terai belt but are used basically for commute rather than sport. Mahango cha ni ta dada! couldn't afford one, nata ahile vai lai nai kindina sakchu with hardly 15K of savings. Yo sab KP Oli le garda ho lmao! Consolidating my point - Struggling for basic cannot maintain a lifestyle Hope the community grows exponentially, a way to go certainly. 🫡
