That's very creative. I really liked this one. I still know a couple of people, here in Chennai, who only use bicycle, despite clearly having the ability to buy a car and even employ a driver. But sadly, I don't belong to this group as I think it's unsafe. If only we could make our roads more bicycle friendly! But it seems to be a vicious circle. The more people use cars, the less safe the roads become for cyclists. If only we would all collectively shun cars.
Anita, Madras roads are a nightmare for all - pedestrians and cyclists are the most vulnerable.
But where we can make a start is if we use the cycle or walk, when we need to go to a store closeby, the neighbourhood ATM, etc. I also feel that we could plan our car journeys so we combine some errands and visits when we go out. I especially feel that some of us in the suburbs do not do this little planning, especially if we have a driver.
