I usually use this road to move from South end circle to 100feet road which connects to silk board junction.<br /><br /> Now there is a news that this road comes under the road widening plan for BBMP Bangalore.<br />So we may not see the trees in the near future.<br /><br /> So come, save the road from BBMP. There are some serious people who are working on the same in the below link to plan & execute the future decisions about how to avoid the road widening on this road.<br /><br /> I am also one of that serious people.<br /><br /><a href="htthttp://savenandaroad.com/index.php?title=Main_Page">http://savenandaroad.com/index.php?title=Main_Page</a>Deepak Majipatilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03108719491267413497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569214454899921895.post-71245322069049557092007-10-05T02:42:00.000-07:002007-10-05T19:54:08.454-07:00Cycle Ride to Kaggalipura/Bannergatta Circle & Back<span class="postbody">Its was a nice biking, we were about nine in the team (Rohan, Balu, Gaurav,Shashi) & (I, Sreeharsha,2 Raghus (One Doctor & one from TOI) ,Shasank).

In between , my water bottle dropped of on the road.I just abandoned it & continued with my cycling.<br /><br />It was the worst selection for my first ride as the traffic was heavy and dangerous. We did mysore road easilly till a right turn for the Dodda alada mara Road. Then there was a level crossing where we got some time to stop.</span><br /><span class="postbody"><br />We had small breaks in between.Villagers were eagerly asking me about my stain on my back & front( which has not gone even after 2 washings). The road was really messy as it had rained heavily previous night & I was not having a fender on the TREK.<br /><br />Even krik did have problems with that. But its all ok when you are burning calories.</span><br /><span class="postbody"><br />TREK did respond to me very well on the mud road & braking. But had some chain slipping due to the EXCESSIVE mud splashed on the chain & gears.My SIGMA 1606L DTS was responding well & was showing 27Kms from home. I was overwhelmed by seeing that & decide to make more rides.<br /><br />We reached the destination at around 8.45. Had Idlis , spent some time chatting for 30 minsbefore leaving the place. Just after 5kms down hill we had a small break for photo shoots, left after 15 mins.</span><br /><span class="postbody"><br />This side of return back was the toughest as all were uphill.The climate was really hot,had got a cap which was very usefull.As we reached Jhnanabarathi,I was out of energy,stopped for sometime, shared an apple.<br />And proceeded further till the ring road junction, where OLD MAN took a deviation towards Banashankari.</span><br /><span class="postbody"><br />WE KIRK & me, continued till my house,time was almost 11.15AM. he had some water & continue with his cycling to his house.<br /><br />OLD MAN & KRIK were quite fit & I was the person who was slowing them down.Probably 2 more trips will reach me to them.<img

Its quite nice to see me taking such an initiative in doing about the workouts. I usually take the route of Sankey Tank, Palace road, Mekri Circle, around Indian Institute of Science,Yeswantpur Circle & Dr.Rajkumar Road.The distance is around 10Kms and is filled with lots of greenery. So much of cool breeze & greenery such that I intend to continue to do the same route for some more time.</p> <p>I do see lots of people do the cycling and do suggest people who looking into this blog should seriously think about cycling is the way to good health.</p> <p>Happy Cycling</p> </div> </div>Deepak Majipatilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03108719491267413497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569214454899921895.post-34237079962538877292007-07-29T09:37:00.000-07:002007-07-29T09:56:36.173-07:00My Slogan (sry its copied)<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">"If you need a reason to ride, You are not on the right bike."</span><br /><br /></span>I just copied from one of this BLOGS <a href="http://ssjf.blogspot.com/">http://ssjf.blogspot.com </a>who guided me<br />to this fabulous site <a href="http://bikenomads.com/wiki/index.php/SLOGANS">BIKE NOMADS</a> where u get more of this.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Deepak Majipatilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03108719491267413497noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569214454899921895.post-13796671186253808922007-07-18T10:56:00.000-07:002007-07-18T21:05:53.159-07:00Advantages of Cycling<ol style="font-family:arial;"><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lots of exercise</span>:<span style="font-style: italic;"> No need of spending monthly fees on GYM other weight reduction programs.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Save FUEL </span>:<span style="font-style: italic;"> U don't need any fossil fuel for cycling.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pollution Control </span>: <span style="font-style: italic;">As there is no carbon monoxide production.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take a ride on Foot Path</span> : <span style="font-style: italic;">As cycles are not banned on foot path.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Easy Movement :</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> In Traffic signal compared to Motorbikes & CARS.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">No road taxes</span> : <span style="font-style: italic;">on the new bicycle.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't need a Driving license.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yearly depreciation</span> :<span style="font-style: italic;">Businessmen can take about 20% yearly depreciation on these.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sustainable Transport:</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Carry all monthly groceries, vegetables, fruits from your market.</span></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Time Management</span>:<span style="font-style: italic;"> Waiting for a BUS,A Traffic signal.
