Feel free to use the phrase. I thought people should be cautioned about such zones :) Thanks.

Not so sure about father-son bonding though!!! I have a 4 year old brat who's trying his best to dismantle my new bike into different parts....so far i've managed to prevent it , wish me luck!

Yeah, but this is my brother! There isn't much of an option until I can afford to buy my own bike.

My experience has been that one should keep their vehicles to oneself, once we start sharing it the problems start. I had incidents of others messing up the settings or leaving some part of the cycle in improper condition like a punctured tyre or a…

Had given my brother charge of the cycle to see how he handled it and took care of it. Lessons in responsibility as he grew up :). He seems more than happy to not use the cycle after it looses air. I will now have to take care of it for him and ensu…

Before the Monsoon, dad and I managed to clear out an unused security shed, have it cleaned by the cleaner and stashed all the cycles in the building in it. This prevented cycles from taking up too much place in the stairways. The Monsoon though is…

Fine Arts Society stretch

One of the biggest qualms of cycling now-a-days in Chembur is the dug up roads on the Fine Arts to Chembur Naka stretch of the Ghatkopar-Mahul Road. The work being undertaken is for the monorail from Chembur to Jacob's Circle. This is a very narrow but vital stretch with vehicles coming from the Ghatkopar taking that critical turn that takes you into Chembur or going straight headed for the Sion-Panvel Highway or going towards Ghatkopar.


The narrowing of the roads and the mo

Cleaning the cycle

It's after a gap of 3 months that I was taking a look at my bike. It was a bit dusty and had no air in the tyres but otherwise has been in good shape.

Taking charge of the cycle

Had given my brother charge of the cycle to see how he handled it and took care of it. Lessons in responsibility as he grew up :). He seems more than happy to not use the cycle after it looses air. I will now have to take care of it for him and ensure that he first enjoys cycling before giving him additional charge of its maintenance. We both use the same cycle, so that could be a sour point.


It might also turn out to be a great place for some brother bonding :).

Post-Monsoon cycling season

Before the Monsoon, dad and I managed to clear out an unused security shed, have it cleaned by the cleaner and stashed all the cycles in the building in it. This prevented cycles from taking up too much place in the stairways.

The Monsoon though is ending in fits. I and my brother have been cycling whenever it wasn't raining and the cycle has survived the Monsoon quite well.

Over the last two weeks, I have been working on geting the cycle back to shape.

I replaced the tubing in the back tyre… Continue

Hi Pradeep,

No these cycles are not available in India as of now. We are new here, later we may create a group also based on the response or engagement. Multiple Skoda India id's would only end up confusing everyone including us :). But if you meant id's in terms of people who work for Skoda, we are working on it.

Cheers!
