Bicycle: Renovation of Innovation


Once upon a time bicycle used to be fantasy of people in their childhood. Atleast it was for me definitly. My dad bought me a Hero-Roadmaster when I was in 5th standard. I used to ran with it almost 5-6 hours daily with specific noise. Jhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..Bhooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn.
Time has changed and changing continiously. May be almost 7 years I havent ride on cycle but I willing to. Yet another day passed.
These days when I'm staying in Bangalore and climate change debate is continiously making a lot of heat around so I think bicycle can play an important role in reducing the pollution. We can atleast have half an hour of cycling daily which would be good for health atleast. Also in case if we have to travel small distances, for that cycle is the best option. In my opinion goverment should develop such planning that in closed and small markets ( Like MG Road in pune or Bangalore )traffic should be diverted and public bicycles should be provided with minimal charges. This could be implemented at small scales and then it can be groomed over the period of some time.
But for that most necessary thing is to develop honesty and trust over the government and people. Which is the most abundant thing in ourselves. I heard from one of my friend when he was in Finland, he talked and surprised about the honesty of Finnish people.
In addition to this we have to market the benifits of bicycles, either it can come from Bicycles manufacturars or from Government or NGOs. But the initiative to be there. Again this model gonna create awareness among people.
Small Societies, Colleges, office spaces, IT/Business Parks can also facilitate or work with such thoughts which can put a working model with helps of builder or contracters. Definitly it is gonna be less expensive to travel with in the campus, less pollution, better health prospects and more environment friendly.
Also it will give us a chance to improve the sporting sprit in bicycling sports or the adventure ones.
