Had very rough times to weather lately. <br /><br />Now that you mentioned it, I do remember the way many of us learnt bicycling, the right leg through the triangle. Thinking of it now it sure was a strange way to learn to ride a bicycle, I learnt riding it the very same way.

There's no concept of dedicated cycling lanes in the city either. <br /><br />Goa did not need dedicated cycling lanes, the terrain was pleasant, the traffic was minimal, though that is most definitely changing.<br /><br /><b>Anu</b>: Thank you.
