I have be cycling for a little over a year now. Whats it achieved and what have I gotten out of this ? A list...
- I'm fitter, and a little leaner. Don't catch a cold as easily, and even feel less cold.
- I'm more "weather friendly". Don't mind a little sweat, or rain, or chill.
- My eyes opened up to public transport since I now find the car/motorbike cumbersome in the city!
- Bangalore has shrunk! I've been to places I've avoided for years.
- I've spoken to many more cops, and even other regular folks.
- Our fuel bill has gotten much smaller.
- Sold one of the motorbikes.
- Made tons of new friends.
- Have seen numerous new places, even on roads I've zipped past hundreds of times.
- Saw the entire Nilgiris at the most relaxed pace ever.
- Have become a lot more aware about our carbon footprint.
Update: Damn I almost forgot one of the most important ones:
- I get to eat all the dessert I want :D

Very cool! I like the part about the desserts :)
Awesome Sameer! I haven't ventured out much, but feels the same on most of the things you mention. Running is still my primary fitness activity and hope to balance both over time.
And I would say, I get to eat all kinds of nuts - especially the cashew!
Very very cool - liked the last part especially :D
@Big Foot @Hitanshu :D At least one person started cycling after seeing how peacefully I eat whatever I want!
@Jayadeep I admire/envy folks who run. I just cannot. And yeah, I've started having all kinds of nuts too...
