Do you remember your first ever cycling training? With the supporting hands holding the bicycle firmly without letting you fall, your father or mother or a friend wanted to see you ride the bicycle is what you cannot forget.

Cycles helped us connect our childhood with joy, fun and socializing with friends. When we’re on the bicycle, the roads, trees and the chilling breeze on a winter day and your neighbor kid painting yourself as a hero in his/her mind, all felt magical. You begin to train with the bicycles with fear and as time pass by, you ride and ride and train cycling relentlessly.

Cycling is For Everyone

And one day, you fell. That’s when you thought “Maybe, cycling is not for me”. But you were wrong. Cycling is for everybody. On the very next day, the obsession with cycling make you take a topsy-turvy approach. The joy of riding bicycles pulls you towards your cycle and you begin to realize the fear has already got away. And you’ve spent the rest of your childhood on bicycles. When your mother asks you to buy vegetables from a grocery, commuting to school, playing with friends, the evening ride after school and till you go to bed, your cycle was your best friend.

But somehow, as we grew up, we lost the touch between ourselves and the bicycles.

Why?

Well, the obvious reason is, we think cycles are for kids. Well, but the truth is cycling is for everyone. Most of us think of ourselves that we’ll be humiliated or ridiculed by our peers for riding bicycles. After all, we fear that we’re getting judged by people around us for riding bicycles. And now, visiting the friends at the end of your street, going to grocery in the nearby street, or going elsewhere, we prefer motorcycles. We think society will judge us based on what we own and what we ride.

But this is half true. In India, Rich tends to bicycle in the morning hours to keep themselves fit. Since, it offers the low intensity exercise with incredible health benefits, cycling half at least half an hour a day is preferred. In early morning hours, you can see people cycling on Race course, Marudhamalai, Avinashi Road and Outskirts of Coimbatore. People of various age groups now ride cycling breaking the stereotypes just to make themselves fit. It helps us connect with our childhood. Don’t believe me?

Try it yourself.
