We will meet at 5:45 am and depart by 6:00 am SHARP. We are very punctual ! We should Return around 9:00 am.

Suggestions - Have some good breakfast and also get your self hydrated before the trip. Carry water/energy drink/ biscuits or banana along with you on the ride.

Mumbai Cycling Enthusiasts

Hello Enthusiasts,

See you tonight for our first ever night ride.. I am sharing this important tips on night riding shared by one of our more experienced Night riders :

1. The Key to night ride is for "You to be visible to others", which means have at least one white front blinking & one rear red blinking light. LED's are the best. (B'twin vioo lights work well for this)

2. Blinking lights attached on helmets work the best in terms of visibility. (do I need to mention that riding without helmet is suicidal?)

3. A reflective vest/stripes is another important piece of your attire. (we are in the process of negotiating a deal of very high quality reflective vest's, will update when done)

3.Do not eat a heavy dinner before the ride, also do not ride on an empty stomach. Eat something light at-least 40 mins to an hour before the ride.

4. Headlights though important, not much needed as Mumbai city is well lit through out the night. A good affordable option is the Q light with 3 LED's. served me quite well in the BRM. (need 2 of these if you ride out of city limits & on highways)

5. Carry a photo ID with blood group & emergency contact number highlighted.

6. Riders riding on the road for the first time should not begin with night rides for their own safety. Children/kids not to be brought on night rides.

7. Carry a water bottle with you. Keep sipping water every 20 mins.

8. Wear 2 layers of clothing, the inner layer necessarily needs to be of dryfit material. This will keep you snug n comfortable.

9. Beware of the wannabe F1 & MotoGP drivers/riders, also BEST buses & tempo's/trucks generally get a thrill to scare you or push you off the road.

10. lady riders to be backed up by a good guy rider, to avoid motorcyclist/motorist riding behind them with full lights on. (Sounds stupid, but experience at least 2 such incidents every ride).

11. IN ALL PROBABILITIES DO NOT PICK UP A FIGHT OR ARGUMENT WITH ANYBODY HOWEVER PROVOKING THEY MIGHT B. You never know how many of them are around you. Remember it is night time.

Regards
Atul

This way you also pay your respects to the nation as well as show your support towards saving the environment by riding a bicycle.

While the main parade takes place in the national capital New Delhi at the Rajpath before the president, let us parade with our bicycles on the streets of Mumbai. So please join the "Republic Day Ride organized by Bandra Cycle Club"
