Cycled to work after many months. Felt soooo good and scared.

Today I decided to take the beauty out for a ride. Rode like 11kms. People on the road honked and cheered me 😛 when I stopped for a break, people came to have a conversation. Felt like an absolute celebrity.

Apart from this, the main reason why I started was, my mental health has been dwindling, I was gaining weight and was always hungry all the time. I developed a pot belly ... people confused me to be pregnant 🥲

Hopefully I keep this habit because it's an absolute win for my mental health and appetite control.

Did you feel safe doing this?? I get shit scared by the large vehicles behave on our roads.

To be frank, I didn't cycle for 3 months because I was scared of vehicles especially Buses and Trucks. But then I was gaining weight fast and the only solution I know works 100% is cycling. So I put my fear aside and started off. Infact, at the flyover near Racecourse, I almost got in the way of a KSRTC bus. But I had a gut feeling that nothing is going to happen to me.

Good for you. 11km seems like a bit too much especially to someone who sits at a keyboard all day. Hope you wear the right protective gear and be safe

Yeah, I do have a helmet, gloves, knees and elbow padding. I don't have shoes though.. i rode with strap on slippers.
I don't have lights or back blinkers. So today I will take the metro back home. Because the route which I take goes through 2 underpass which are frequented by BMTC, KSRTC and VRL buses. If I'm not cautious, I will be going under the tyre of one of these.
