A Map for Cyclists

This page is under construction. But it has a lot of potential. It promises to be helpful to cyclists who would like to explore this vast, sprawling city and all  its wonderful places that can be reached on a bike. Here is, for example, routes to the ancient fort of Tughlaqabad in the south-east, Aravali Biodiversity Park and JNU in the south of the city. If you have a passion for making maps, this is your page - or, at least, it could well be soon. I'll be glad to hear from you.

I travel to come down off the feather-bed of civilization – RL Stevenson I do not remember when the thought of an inter-city bicycle ride first occurred to me. A friend came to drop me at the Tribune Circle in Chandigarh. We bade each other goodbye and from then on, I was on my own. I felt energetic and looked forward to the journey. Finally the day had come, I was living my dream. But as soon as I reached the outskirts of the city, doubt started raising its dreadful head.
