I am sure bikers,
many of you might have noticed rust on your Cycle chain after the rains.
One of the best and easiest solution.
1) Just take some lime juice, no water just juice (citric acid)
2) Steel wool (kata, mumbaikers will know this) or a spoiled tooth brush.
3) Worn out cloth, just to wipe the dirt.
4) lubrication (Oil, i prefer castrol 2t oil 10 rupees pouch)
Citric acid reacts well with iron oxide (rust).
Just dip steel wool or brush in citric acid and scrub on the chain.
and just wipe it with the cloth.
and just add few drop of oil.
Your cycle chain is clean as new.
Do post a comment after you try this simple cycling clean up.

Extreem Cycling Effects
On 25th Jul Friday. I met with a accident.
Actually while going to office it wasn't raining. However by afternoon it started heavily.
And water logging in Mumbai on road side is not a uncommon issue.
From Dmart (Malad) till mitk chowki is always jam.
I was riding through the extreme left of road.
On a avg speed of 10 km. When suddenly my front wheel got stuck in a big dam hole.
Thanks to our m*%&$^ f&%^% govt and their workers.
I fell right on my face, I tried to protect with my hand, But my hand also went into a diff hole. And i banged to the edge of the hole.
As i was wearing pollution mask, due to the sharp edge it split my nose.
I have got 6 stitches on my nose and 6 on forehead and 2 next to it.
I took stitches with out Anesthesia, so that i feel the pain and next time i ride safe.
But i am wrng.. i know. i will still be free and ride as i want.. do hell with the motorist.
hahaha... this is the next day image. Now my face is swollen. I look like a Alien.
I wish i die while riding a cycle, hey wait not know some time later.
Once i have enjoyed my Life.

Pollution Mask
Pollution in Mumbai is real bad.
When it comes to cycling in mumbai roads, cannot take chances.
It just will degrade every dam thing on the way to lungs.
Ultimately will land up with Chronic Respiratory Problems.
so prevention is better than cure.
I used to tie two bandana on my face. But still i could feel and smell smoke penetrate through my nose.
and top of that breathing becomes a problem.
This mask is very nice. Can breath proper and no more smoke.
Hey do i look like Shredder from Ninja Turtles
thanks to the person who invented it.

AareyColonyRide15thJune08
15th June 2008 was one of the best cycling ride.
altogether 13 of us had joined.
we started of at 7 am from areay colony western side.
then we headed to areay milk production unit.
and then towards New zealand hostel.
some bikers had to rush back, since most of them stay far away.
8 of us then left for National Park.
we went near to canneri caves. did a small trek and headed back towards home.
i am not good at writing content.. so please bear with me and if any mistake do let me know.. thnx... :)
