To Cycle in India, you just need two things: Good brakes and good luck.
My everyday commute in Mumbai, India on a road bike, exploring the roads and the traffic and what I think about it.

Thanks for sharing that slice of life as a cyclist in Mumbai. That was hair raising. I love the commentary too, e.g. this wonderful line: "Traffic signals are thought more as suggestions rather than rules, and everybody is more than willing to break them." Stay safe.

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.

I would say, its safer to wait and cross the road to the slow part of the lane. Saying this because I have got trapped and its dangerous.

@donnylama
@donnylama 3 жыл бұрын
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.

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

@donnylama
@donnylama 4 жыл бұрын
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

nope. it has sora group set. Personally it doesn't matter much as long as the gearing is right. the only difference is that sora is much lighter and less maintenance. where as a tourney is very basic and the components not so great. But if you learn how to fix it then even a tourney will do. At the end of the day it is not the cycle but the person riding it. if you want you can even ride on a normal cycle under 15k and it will still do the job.

Hi Raghav, The cycle bell is anyways pretty useless in a city like bombay. After riding in the city for sometime, you will understand how the traffic functions and will start going with the flow.

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
@donnylama 4 жыл бұрын
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. Take care and safe riding. and if you like the content then don't forget to subscribe for future cycling vidoes.

I've been cycling for 7 to 8 years since school days and college days. Now I'm 28 and I've not had a bicycle for 4,5 years. I'm planning to get either a hero sprint pro ceralo or similar options under 14k. Usage would be like early morning rides and some day long rides. 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. Hero sprint maybe good as well but the gear system in the btwin is tried and tested and it is good. Also it has good sales and after service. Hope that helps. Take care and safe riding.

Thank you Ankit. I personally love riding a road bike since it is very enjoyable. The travel is fast and fun. A mountain bike on the other hand is a bit slow. The ideal setup would be a mountain bike with road tyres. Take care and safe riding.
