Not sure about your nuts, but you would need to have real guts to ride on a bicycle, on Bangalore roads. Heavy vehicle drivers (including car and cab drivers) just don't care about bikers here. The story in other cities might probably be the same.

Not really true. In 2 years of riding, I get more respect on my cycle than I ever did on motorbikes, cars. And this includes the BMTC guys!

Hmmm, the Indian Postal Service should've had a really tough time recruiting, in that case! Thats a very common mis-perception.
CYCLING IS OK ... ONLY IF UR YOUNG AND SUCCESSFUL ... FOR COMMON INDIAN MAN ... HE MUST USE BIKES / CARS ... AS HE IS GOING TO DIE AS COMMON MAN ONLY ....

Its typical Indian Mentality to think about Motor bikes & Cars. In the heavy populated countries like China & Japan, people use cycles majorly. Thats why people there r more healthy n fit.
as mentioned below.. there are some practical probs of cycling.. the dust and pollution on roads can ruin health and skin on a long term.. could end up with more probs for solving one even bikes are just buumped off by bigger vehicles.. cycles are like a nuisance to them.. climate not suitable for most part oft the year if ur going to work .. probably need a change of clothing companies should have some green rewards system for employees coming by cycle.. surely more will sign up.. there is some social stigma as well if seen on a cycle.. many avoid cycling due to this..

Try it out, and you'll soon see the reality about many of those myths. Bangalore has a 1000 "choice" riders already, so the stigma's gone.
I ama techie with Satyam blore, and i want to cycle, but the point is that no girl(and blore has the best looking ones) would look at you if you are in a cycle. I use my avenger to work, and am sure that creates a lot more impression among the blore crowd. Even if i own a 10000 worth bicycle, end of the day, its only a cycle, and no one would even look at us. Thats explains why in college campuses and IT companies, you rarely see bicycles, only bikes, activas and the odd car
