Is it possible to ride bicycle during the monsoon also I'm new to bicycling I want to ride a bicycle on the road but I'm scared if I slip can you please guide me on some steps on it like how can I gain confidence thank you

[@donnylama]

Hello Priyanka. infact monsoons are the best time to ride a cycle enjoying the rain as you pedal along. Just remember to apply both the front and the rear brake together. Also a cycle is much slower than a bike so even if you do happen to slip you will easily control it by putting your foot on the ground. The best way to practice riding during the monsoons is to ride slow till you are comfortable . And then you can slowly increase your speed as you get comfortable. the only way to be good at riding a cycle during the rains is to keep riding and the more experience you have the better you become. But you will slip and maybe fall once or twice thats for sure. so keep that in mind. That is why you should always wear a helmet and a visible neon jacket if you are out on the main road. Hope this helps. Take care and ride safe.

[@ChristinePKN]

It’s like that here in NYC too. Cycling on the road feels soooo unsafe. People are jogging on the road like thier bikes on the road. Trucks and other bigger vehicles pass way to closely. Using arm turn signals gets dangerous sometimes because some cars speed up. Almost taking off your arm. Also some motorist and mopeds try to skip traffic. By passing all the cars passing bikes on the bike lanes. Then vehicles park on the bikes lanes or in other sides of the road bikes suppose to be.

Can you please suggest me gear bicycles to ride on our highways. Mumbai eastern express highway. Since lock down period I also hesitate whether I'm taking a wrong decision or should I be waiting for everything to get normal and then buy. Sorry too much to explain here ✌

Hi Sumin. Glad to know you want to take up cycling again. I would suggest you to buy a btwin cycle from decathlon. it will be 4k more than your budget but it is worth it.

Do you suggest a drop handle bar to navigate busy Mumbai traffic? Help me so I take the right decision for my new bike

[@donnylama]

I personally like drop bars since they are a bit narrow than the wide mtb bars and I can enter small corners. Also I have been riding on drop bars for a long time so I am used to it. If it's your first time then it will take some time getting used to since the steering is very nippy compared to a mtb bike. but you will get used to it. if you are not comfortable with drop bars then I would suggest you to put mtb bars that are not so wide. but a little smaller in width. Hope this helps. and good luck on your purchase

Bro im confused between roadbikes and mountain bikes. Since we have bad roads in india, will i my bike face problems if I ride a roadbike daily on such roads or can a roadbike handle potholes, cracks, patchwork, gravel etc.

[@donnylama]

Hi Somesh. i personally use a road bike for daily commutes to office with a 25 or 28 mm tyre and use an mtb for touring. With the mentioned tyre size you will have no problems with bad roads. In the end it comes down to which style of riding you prefer. but both the styles of cycling will be great for city commutes. Also road bikes are much faster than mtb. So keep that in mind. in the end go with which ever cycle you are comfortable with. if you like mtb then you can use road tyres on the mtb and make a faster commute. Hope this helps.

Hi Andrew. It feels risky for the first week or so but once you understand the rhythm of the traffic and as you get more confident then it gets better. start by cycling during the weekends and then the weekdays. For Bombay traffic and long rides a road bike is best with 25c tyres as they don't give you pinch flats. it is also faster. I have a road bike and an mtb and I prefer a road bike. and I ride mtb for cycle backpacking and touring for the extra luggage and weight. try both of them and then see which one you are more comfortable. take care and safe riding

I used to cycle to work every fridays! But that lasted only for a month. Cause, I was laughed at since the dogs were chasing me!

[@donnylama]

Hi street Squiid. Good to hear that you gave it a try though. And yes sometimes dogs can be a menace. But hope you start it again soon, not only for your health, but for the environment and maybe in the process you will inspire someone around you to do it. take care and safe riding

Please give me a tip I get scared when I am on the roads and also stressed when I have to take a turn and ther sare cars

[@donnylama]

Hello, The only tip i can give you is to ride a little bit on the road everyday. Its a matter of confidence. Keep increasing your time on the road as you get confident. This could take days or weeks. Also please wear a helmet and a reflector jacket at all times for your safety. Give it a shot and in a month from now you will be fully confident to ride on the road. Take care and ride safe
