Hi All,

Does anyone in this group cycle to office on a regular basis? If so, could you please share your experiences, tips?

I am thinking of cycling to office (Kothrud to Yerawada, 13 kn oneway). Wanted to see if anyone was already doing such commutes...

Thanks,
Rajendra

hi Rajendra,

I am regularly commuting to my office by my bicycle. The distance of my office is merely about 5km Hence its possible and easy.
I also have couple of friends who do so everyday, travelling more than 10km distance (one way) to office by cycle. Its best healthy way of commuting. 
Your sweating cloths can trouble you a little. we normally wear a regular T shirt while cycling and carry a formal shirt in our bag so that we can quickly change to formal wear once we reach office. 

I hope this helps you in your daily journey to your office.
Wishing you good luck .... Enjoy cycling!

regards
Vidyut Rajhans

Hi

 

We at PTC celebrating NVD (No Vehicle day) on every Wednesday for last 335 weeks. People choose various modes like walk, run, cycle, share vehicle, public transport. I am cycling from Pimpri to Nagar Road (20 K ) and return on every Wednesday for last 335 weeks along with my colleague at PTC.

 

 

Thanks & Regards

Umesh

Hi,

Thanks for opening this discussion. It is encouraging to know about what others are doing.
I cycle to office once a week from Law college Road to Hadapsar ( 15 kms. one way approximately). It certainly is a good experience. Please go through my blog for some of my cycling experiences.

Hi Vidyut, Umesh and Ashwini,

Thanks a ton for the replies. Feels real good that you all are already further on the path that I want to take.

I have now worked out a plan. Will have a dry-run tomorrow to check the route which I have decided. Rather than the route, I am more worried about the sweating! I will know first hand if it is going to be an issue. Since I cycle regularly, the distance is not an issue.

If the dry run works ok, I will cycle to work next week (it is a short 3 workday week) and then decide if I can continue or not.

Let's see how it does.

Ashwini: read your blog and liked it. You should pen your thoughts more frequently.

Thanks,
Rajendra Welankar

Guys,

Great... Keep it up.

I used to cycle to Office every day during winter; Nov till Mar end, 25 kms everyday. Summer and rainy season, lots of excuses.

At present I am out of country and I cycle to Office atleast three times in a week. From Next month I shall be doing everyday, hopefully weather will cooperate.

I have few locals in my office those ride 15 miles (both ways) everyday to office and are doing past many years. And though being in US they spent less time on saddle than in car while commuting to office or back to home.  Traffic is extremely worst during office hours, definitely Pune is on same page of traffic congestion as USA is.

I cycle to work 2 times a week. Tuesday and Thursday. Navi Peth to Baner and back about 9 km one way.

I carry a set of keep fresh clothes in office on Monday and dump that in my drawer. On Tuesday and get a shower and change to fresh clothes.
Wednesday, I again carry an extra pair of fresh clothes keep it in office and get back the used Tuesdays clothes back.
Thursday again cycle to work and use fresh set of clothes already in the drawer.
Friday Just get back the used pair from thursday.

I would love to cycle everyday, but the logistics get a bit tricky. 2 times a week is easy on the body and I don't have to carry fresh clothes in my bag when I am cycling.
