This is my new mask, which i will be wearing on my way to office.
Thank you Francis for sending this amazing mask.
With this mask as compared to older mask breathing is pretty easy and no smoke or fumes enter.
Its very nice, for mumbai or any other polluted roads. Can breath proper and good material. kind of mixture of rubber and plastic and filter can be replaced in just a min.
and also edges stick to face leaving no gap.
this was the first time i tried, so the filter is still clear, after 8 to 10 hour of ride in the following days.. filter got a dark muddy apperance.
And this time i know who made this mask. can check this site totobobo.com
or mail Francis on totobobomask(at)gmail.com
thank you Francis.

TOI
This is one of the most successful and memorable ride so far.
Around 35 cyclist got together at National Park for the Freedom Ride.
on 15-Aug to promote the word of cycling.
we rode through S V road from kandivali to Bandra and then using worli link road till mantralaya. and then finally till Gateway of India.
the only sad part was, cops escorted us all the way, since it was Independence day.
We disturbed pamphlet along the way and informed people about the benefits of cycling to environment and human beings.
Thanx to kaustab (RTEC) and other from his team.
We were also featured in
Dna, Marathi Times and I was interview by DD.
Hope more and more people switch over to cycling on roads.

Removing Rust from Chain
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.
