Mr N Mukund informs us that Jayanagar now has a Grievance Center. So if you are a resident of that constituency, and have complaints or suggestions, all you have to do is pick up a phone and call the helpline!

How many of you believe that
1. Cycle is a sustainable mode of transportation?
2. Cycling in Bangalore is possible?
3. You are faster on you cycle than you car in Bangalore?

Let me share my view on these :

A most compelling story

I was born and raised in Bangalore in a traditional old bungalow in the heart of the city in National College Circle in Basavangudi. It was gifted to me by my late aunt with much love over 20 years ago. To my great sorrow, this property will soon be destroyed by the disastrous planning of the 'Namma Metro'.

I am not doing a summary here of the IRC codes for road markings. I ordered a copy and got it yesterday and flipped through it. The norms / guidelines cover the basics well. Significantly, there is clear guideline on GIVE WAY - markings.

The Tour of Nilgiris is a 7 day, 910 km bicycle ride across the famed Nilgiri mountain range in South India. The Tour of Nilgiris takes off from Bangalore on 25 December 2008 and ends on 1 January 2009.

It is a tour and not a race. The Tour of Nilgiris is the outcome of the desire of a very small group of cycling enthusiasts in Bangalore to create a challenging, interesting and educative ride for them.
