Bike routes in Bangalore
It took a wonderful Le Tour '06 to kick me back to the habit of riding my bike. The streets of Bangalore aren't what you would call good for the peleton. The roads are quite hazardous, smoke filled and you rarely get to see a bicycle these days in the city roads -- quite a change from the photos I've seen of Bangalore from 20-30 years ago when it would be routine for sometime to ride their bicycle from to the City Market and back.
I take the route from Malleswaram's 18th Cross, go through the IISc gate on Mariamman circle, down the underpass under CV Raman Road and into the IISc campus. The campus is great for bike rides, pleasant and free of traffic (other than bicycles!). Out through the side gate and onto new BEL road and all the way to the Ring Road. I then take a right and go along the Ring Road for as long as I can go. Sundays at 6am is great -- traffic isn't heavy and the ring road is good for some speed riding -- there's traffic lights on this road and the intersection circles could be challenging. I try and find a partner to ride with.
I've heard of bicycle riding experiences further north of the city around Nandi Hills. It will be great to connect with others who would like to ride their bicycles, particularly towards the north of the city. If you are interested send me a note to vjanand@yahoo.com.
