Finally I picked up my cycle which was ready last week, I couldn't pick it up because I was sick. After getting in touch with Rohan and Nikhil(of Bums on the Saddle - BOTS) may be last June, I was brooding over it for a long time before I made up my mind recently. In between I tried to buy a Hero Thunder and the experience dealing with the regular cycle vendors were so bad that I turned to BOTS again. And I can tell you it is worth the money - the customer experience thing that you hear in corporate trainings(but not in practice) and read about, you can experience it here.Since BOTS shop was a bit far from where I live, we put the cycle in my car. We had to fold the backseat to make room and remove the front wheel. It is pretty easy to remove and fix the front wheel. I took it for a spin around my apartment and fiddled with the gears a bit, but since I haven't completely recovered from my flu, I didn't spend too much time on it. Fixed my old cycle lock(worth 16euros) on it and locked it in my parking lot.
So the plan is to do cycling as a cross training for my running and possibly commute to work as well. Let us see how things go!
