from being a way of life to being a status symbol, #cycling never went out of vogue in my little city. Believe me, cycles never had it small here. Such that they could have released a roll of honour in its name, ‘Order of the Bicycle’ or something. Old Amitabh flicks glorified the mill workers of Mumbai. Just when the siren went off, blue uniforms flooded out of the gates, like an unleashed dam, rushing to catch the first local home. Then, if Jabalpur had caught some filmy eye, our very own factory men, who made the sturdy Shaktiman lorries and army ammunition, would have been glorified and rendered immortal as they flooded out of the factory gates...on their bicycles...in thousands ... You only have to cull out a few pictures from the black and white times to believe this. This little city had its own peak hours back then in 1970s and 80s. The city’s arterial roads stood blocked for a couple of hours each every morning and evening as these cyclists swarmed through filling every inch of the roads. Period. 29 October 2017 8am will be Jabalpur’s date with its own history as the city goes cycling once again! 🚴 And what would you say about this date being romantic! It’s set in the wilderness...in the midst of woods and greens ...and this date you don’t want to miss! And hey, it’s the first date! 🙃So don’t be an unchivalrous smug to miss it! 🤛🏻 Just wheel it, roll it, do it... #cycling #cyclists #cyclingevent #jabalpur #jabalpurdiaries #smartcityjabalpur #smartcity #cyclepeople #bicyclediary #bicycle (at Dumna Nature Park)
