India at Paris-Brest-Paris PBP 2011 - a film by Divya Tate

Actually my friend's requirements are not contradictory, but designers of the Indian bikes had made them so. We checked-out Bikes at few Local Bike Stores(LBS) & got disappointments. I don't understand why Indian Bike manufacturers are unable to make a simple design. All designs of the frame were crazy, atleast in the Budget of Rs 3500. I remember in past Indian Bike manufacturers have Kickass models like

Hero Ranger, Hero Impact, BSA Street Cat, Hercules 9000 Oversize

 & lot more which are good looking, good quality & Cheap. Finally, i suggested my friend to buy a

Hercules MTB Thriller (Single Gear) 

for Rs 3500 & i said my friend that, i will do few modifications in this to look it better. My friend purchased that Bike & i removed the Mud-Guards & the Side-Bars from the handle. We also changed the crazy big saddle of the Bike with small one(this was exchange from Bike Store Owner without any extra cost). Check out few photos of my friend's bike here

Bicycle Movie Show

Sunday 24-10-10

I have been cycling regularly Since Dec 2009. In Feb 2010 I rook the Rotary Cycle Group ranging from age group of 30 to 65 to Khandala on cycles. We attended the Rotary District 3131 conference on cycles.
Since then it was there in mind to do a century break. Finally the day arrived. I started from deccan gymkhana at 5.30am. I met Aba , Col Sarvotam Hasabnis on the Baner rd and we started our ride. We had lights attached to the cycles so it was much easier to travel at that time. Within no time we reached the Dehuroad junction ( at 6.45 am ) and reached the Talegaon Toll Naka, there we took a small eating break and gobbled some Energy bars and started again. I was checking my cyclocomputer now and then and suddenlty I realised we were averaging 22.7 kmph.Without any stoppages we reached the 56 km mark at Karle Phata ( the road to the right goes to Ekvia Devi Temple ) It was 8 am by then. We had tea at the junction and had good 5 star chocolates. The energy level was boosted within no time.
