Biking and the Bro-hood


There are millions of blogs on biking and zillion blog posts. Those endless roads, vrooming on them at high speeds and fresh wind on your face. The pure ecstasy of biking is addictive and mesmerizing.
But then we are talking the cruise biking here. The highways, the bike trips, amidst Himalayas and hills, between green  & yellow fields and small roads adorned with Palm trees.
For most of the unfortunate ones the aforesaid things happen at max 1nce a year and that too if we are lucky. For most part of our existence we huff-puff our Street Hawks fighting the menace of city traffic.
But something I ve noticed from sometime now :
For cities like Mumbai, Delhi ,Bangalore…where one is  compelled to force your way through Trucks, State Buses, Pick Up vans and pedestrians alike Bikers are joined with 1 most important thread of EMPATHY. Its quite strange but you`ll find bikers doing serpentine formations on the traffic signals , or while surviving non-existent roads on patchy shockers give each other breather , support, motivation and sometime side too.
Its somewhat pleasant to find more people facing Bus`s exhaust blower on their faces , screaming on the pedestrians and  exchanging pleasantries to the auto drivers. Kudos to the passion for Biking and comforting Bro-Hood
