Was just reading that these tyres have a Kevlar belt to make them punture resistant.This is the same stuff used in bullet proof jackets!! The rolling resistance is much less and had a nice ride this morning.Bike feels faster.

Cycling in the rain



Lets talk about 'how to take precautionary measures in the rain'.
Wet weather makes roads slippery, so you must ride your bike differently: A fall from the bike can leave a few bruises or even a fracture and put you off your bike from a day to a week or two.
So we will talk on four sub topics relating to cycling in the rains.
1) Braking.
2) Cornering.
3) Puddles.
4) Visibility.

New babe in town !!!!

Its 15 months since Fomas started selling cycles in India, Initially started with low end bikes to understand the market and gradually increasing the range of products to more than 30 different models.
I Had my chance to get a preview the new high end Road Bike to be launched by Fomas

Before I had my first look and the new babe from the stable of Fomas , I had mixed conceptions about the finish quality and the components used.

I was quite taken aback to learn that the grou… Continue

Hey Faisal,
I just put up a post that I was looking for an instructor that could teach me to ride a bicycle and Jal Panthaky suggested I should contact you. Ideally I'd like for for someone who could teach me beyond the basics to include the skills necessary for safe riding especially in traffic, so things like steering, signaling, right and left turns, changing gears, braking and avoiding road hazards. But for now I'd even settle for just learning to balance, start stop and turn. So if you know anyone who would be up for teaching me please let me know. I'd really appreciate it. Hopefully I'll hear from you soon. Thanks

Hi Faisal.... did you mention a ride down mount mary steps somewhere?

Hi Faisal! Came across your profile which suggests you are quite an active and very experienced member. I am a new cycling enthusiast from Powai. I am planning to buy a bike for morning exercise and weekend trips. It would be great if you could give me some guidance. I would like to keep the budget within 5K though.
Thanks and Regards!
