It&#8217;s a foolish idea, I know, since people are so deeply rooted in the views that have been propagated to them, that they begin to feel that they are actually their views.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m defending the humble Indian cycle, which has been much maligned by people and which, I may add, I have the honor of referring to as my prime mode of transport.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen all sorts of attitudes towards my choice of steed. I have seen disbelief, quizzical glances, downright disgust, amused tolerance, disrespect, and every once in a while, be it ever so rare, admiration.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the prevailing social norm in India, is that the bicycle is meant only for teenagers, and the lower class. I see no self respecting manager of a company, or a not so self respecting brash youth eager to prove himself a man, making the cycle as their prime mode of transport.<\/p>\n<p>It is during moments of contemplation, when these undeniable facts present themselves to me clearly, that I shake my head in disbelief at the commonly held supposition that Man is a rational animal. I won&#8217;t go into the benefits of cycling in this post. They are far too obvious to me, and indeed, to anyone who thinks logically. If you want a good breakdown, read about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greentire.org\/benefit_cycling.html\">benefits of cycling in this article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But perhaps I&#8217;m being too judgmental. Live and let live is what I say. So I have no grudge against those who use a motorized vehicle, beyond the rather obvious fact that they pollute, make a terrible noise, and in some cases, use up so much road space per user, that pathways in major cities are becoming increasingly difficult to navigate through.<\/p>\n<p>However, I do wish that people would apply the same principal to me, harmless as I am. All over India, I encounter active prejudice against the most friendly mode of transport ever devised. And I&#8217;m not just talking about the way people look at you.<\/p>\n<p>In almost all parking lots, prime space goes to huge cars, and the space filters down to motor bikes, until only at the very <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">end<\/span>, if you&#8217;re lucky, you find a place to park your cycle. And in all cases, cyclists are forced to park in the sun, in a dilapidated parking lot that seems to say &#8216;Here lie all the unworthy and unwanted items known to man&#8217;. Even the parking attendants are frequently rude to cyclists, while they bow obsequiously to the huge Mercedes close by.<\/p>\n<p>I feel a just wrath, as I view the shabby treatment meted out to cycles by people who look at self worth only as a function of what society deems is important. These same people have visions of one day owning a car themselves, and being bowed to by other Parking attendants, and so it propagates. People who are unable to think for themselves.<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_PbhD9qrnP4A\/SBN1ImKa7PI\/AAAAAAAAAAg\/q9qodvgBNrQ\/s1600-h\/PoliceOfficerOnBike.jpg\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193623585831972082\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_PbhD9qrnP4A\/SBN1ImKa7PI\/AAAAAAAAAAg\/q9qodvgBNrQ\/s320\/PoliceOfficerOnBike.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Policeman on a Bicycle\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the world has long woken up, and has recognized the benefits of the cycle. They plan entire cities taking into consideration the fact that they <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bicycle_friendly\">need to make it bicycle friendly.<\/a> There, the cycle is an accepted mode of transport and there is no shame in using it.<\/p>\n<p>The picture that you see, is of a policeman riding a cycle in an obviously cycle conscious society. And he looks so cool! In India, only the lowest of the police force ride a cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Now my readers mustn&#8217;t mistake me. I love my country, and I would not leave it. I guess that countries, just like people, are childish at first, and then mature as time goes by. I know this will happen sooner or later (but probably not in my life time) in India. But it <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">is<\/span> frustrating to see it happen! It&#8217;s just something that we conscious cycle riders have to learn to deal with. We&#8217;re setting an example, and that requires guts.
