Biking in Mumbai!

Oh it's fun as well as painful! Love the fly-overs...especially the Byculla fly-over is awesome! Hate the traffic jams. Was caught at the Chembur Priyadarshani crossing for around 20 mins!

Yesterday I covered more than 100Km of city riding!
(Ghatokopar-Chembur-Sion-Dadar-VT-Colaba-A lot of Colaba-Parel-Bandra-Kurla-Ghatkopar)

The bike ride to Mumbai was obviously with the usual thrills one can associate with my Pune-Mumbai journeys. Took a wrong turn some where near the Panvel turn and ended up taking the NH-48 instead of the NH-4....to JNPT (Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust) and then had to back-track almost like 40Kms and cut through Navi-Mumbai to get to Ghatkopar!
Crazy stuff...
Total journey was 180Km instead of around 130Km. Took me 3.5hrs instead of 2.5 hrs.

But nice experience of course!

Would be again biking across the city tonight to catch the Chelsea-Liverpool Champions League match :-)
