Fun Sustainable Transport
a week of biking in January
Last week, bikers rocked Bangalore city :)
On Sunday the biking community met up at Redwoods for a talk organized by fellow biker, Sameer. We met enthusiastic residents and spoke about how cycling is the greatest thing since sliced-bread.
End result – one person picked up a bicycle the next day ! yaaa.

Wed, a holiday because of the Sankranti festival, saw a bunch of bikers meet up in the wee hours of the morning and go on a small traffic awareness drive with MLA Narendranath Babu, who has been a staunch supporter for all bicycle related activities.

Our good friend Venky, opened his new Merida Store that morning. Lots of fun n fanfare. BOTS wishes him the very best and a fantastic future.

That same afternoon some adventurous bikers decided to do some trail riding in the noon. Snaps here and here
Friday was Ignite 2 . Last time around some of us had spoken about Bicycle commute in Bangalore City. This time Ananth and Das spoke about the merits of cycling
Saturday also saw a bunch of enthusiastic bikers dig up ramps and take a shot at jumps :) after being inspired by some Chandigarh bikers

Apart from all these, there were the usual weekend rides in the city. Check out the ride calendar for a quick glance at the rides happening in the city.

Way to go Rohan. Three cheers to BOTS for bringing out the weekly round up. Have a suggestion: Can you create a wiki page on which people can jot things as they happen so that end of the week one can collate it and make the roundup post. This way all events can be captured. Like the meetings that happened to get the "Bangalore cycling Workshop" formulated and formalized too happened on the same week. There was some good coverage on TV9 and Fever 104 FM of the road safety week rally.

@Pradeep - super idea. Have created a wiki for this !

Would make writing this post so much easier and less taxing on the brain with this wiki. Hope folks contribute. -
Nice coverage dude!
