riding in the rain.

so suddenly my brother vikas decides to buy a cycle so he can get some exercise (but only after i i tell him a million times tht its lot of fun and tht he should go to his office by cycle :D). anyway so went and bought a road cycle. the difference between a road cycle and a regular mountain bike is that the mountain bikes have a straight handle and lot thicker wheels. there are basically three types of cycles (that i know of) 1. road bikes 2. MTBs or mountain terrain bikes (if i'm correct, coz thts what i think is the full form) and lastly, 3.BMX (i dont know the full form but its the one with lot smaller wheels and smaller frame)

the road cycles have very thin wheels. meant only for plain tarmac roads and very hard to drive on rough terrain. they have very thin tube and tyres which often get punctured if u drive on too much rough terrain. they have the characteristic curly handle bar meant to give a posture that reduces the air friction or drag which slows u down a lot if u encounter wind against ur direction of cycling.

the mountain bikes have a straight handle and their design has no consideration for any wind resistance. they arent supposed to be fast but their advantage is that u can drive on almost any road or dirt or rocks, it doesnt matter at all. they have lot thicker tyres and the straight handle is easier to control at slow speeds.

the last type i know of are the bmx bikes (can't remember the full form and too lazy to google it) which have lot smaller wheels and can be seen often on sport channels showing extreme sports. thats right. they were particularly designed for stunts. u can more easily do a wheelie and absolutely anything u're artistic mind is capable of but of course u have to pratice.

so finally road bikes= speed city rides, lot faster, mountain bikes= no need of road, not very fast and BMX= doing stunts, and breaking bones while trying to.

damn i was going to talk about the new cycle we got and ended up describing the types of cycles :p. anyway so what i wanted to tell was driving it in very cold weather which is now in gurgaon. so i had to go to some shop to get something. and nearest computer shop was about 7kms so took my cycle and it suddenly started raining. wow. usually i'm least bothers about rains but it was already very cold about 15°C and on top of that it started raining. it was jus awesome (yep even tht i enjoyed hehehe). my fingers were almost freezing. thankfully i was wearing a jacket which did give some protection and prevented me from getting wet. still was jus best really really cold. anyway my advice dont get wet in cold weather coz it gets very cold as ur clothes become too cold too soon. thats it for today. hope u enjoyed todays dose of useless khichdi. but hey thats what its meant to be. another waste of time :-p but i think i did tell something about cycles so may be it wasnt all that useless. come back for more khichdi soon, bye or now
