the guy who delivered the bike forgot to get the lock....so i thought its a good way to start off...the bike station is a good 8kms from my place, so i decided to give it a go and get the lock myself and start off.....wohh...initial 10-15 mins were really nice and smooth..i was loving the way it rides, but asa i crossed about a km and half, i began panting....i was riding a bike after a gap of almost a decade....it took me 20 mins to reach INORBIT (which i cover in less than half the time in my car)...i never knew that reaching inorbit would take so much time...but on my way towards the bike station, i was getting anxious glances from people....
my speed was average..i dunno maybe in 20's...but the best part was beating the traffic, where a truck blocked the way for all the vehicles, i loved the way i sailed through the vehicles, to cross the traffic...i crossed 5kms and took a turn towards goregoan station on my way towards the bike station, still a km to go and i decided to halt for a sugarcane juice...man, it reminded me of my childhood days when we used to cycle to the football camp and halt for taking liquids half way....
i finally reached the bike station and sales guy was pleasantly surprised to see me, i took the lock and started my way back...finally reached home after an hour of riding...
Considering my first ride, i was completely exhausted.but felt so proud of my first ride....
i am not an expert on making comments on bikes ride quality, their gear shift n all...but all i can say is I felt great riding this beauty...
