Everyday Cycling Stories from Bengaluru

Blast from the past: When every lane was a bike lane.

Opinion | #CubbonPark, one of #Bengaluru’s last remaining lung spaces, stands testament to the city’s reputation as a garden city. Renowned for its rich #biodiversity, the park is a green zone & also a sanctuary for countless species of flora and fauna.

A thread on Karnataka's languages 🟥🟨🟩🟦🟧 created by @BharadiaSamarth with iipmaps.

Note: The data here is from Indian Census 2011 and by speakers, it means first language speakers (mother tongue), so if a person speaks many languages, only their first language is considered

1/16: Most spoken first language in each district

@choykwok @TwitShilpi Did you even read the thread?
Do you think I exercise on ORR with my cycle?

[Shilpi @TwitShilpi]

Since many people are genuinely scared of cycling in crowded roads (and rightly so!), I thought, I will share some tips/hacks to navigate a city which keeps out cyclists by design.
Since pics say a thousand words, I will use my drawings @brakefail22 (I am also lazy, I recycle)

Coming soon.... To a drain near you.

Thanks @BBMPCOMM @DKShivakumar for everything you are doing (NOT) for cycling in the city. Happy world bicycle day! https://t.co/3EpycSSNJy

If you cycled through all seasons, you surely skipped an year of traffic.

Happy World Bicycle Day!

@CodeFlusher @ganeshsonawane I used to run barefoot but it became increasingly difficult with all the debris around and roads always dug up. Now I manage with sandals or vibrams with thin soles. Still gives a barefoot feel.
