Spreading the cycle culture
After a hectic day at the office, a long ride on a bicycle will rejuvenate the mind and body,” says mountain biker Gary Fisher, who was in town recently. In an interaction with Metrolife he poured his heart out about his passion and future plans. Talking about the love of his life — cycling — he says, “Cycling is the best way to explore nature. There are many places on this earth where a car cannot go. It is only a cycle that can go through the serpentine roads, on pathless lands, or even enjoy the natural sculpture of mountains.” 
Gary’s motto in life is to spread the culture of cycling all around the world. He says, “That’s what I want to do, that’s what I am doing, and that’s what I will spread as long as I am alive.” Talking about the benefits of cycling, he says, “When one begins to cycle, the first month is miserable — the body aches too much. But in the second and third months, you start enjoying it. Three months are more than enough for a person to love cycling. The arteries, cardiac and vascular parts of the body are refined. It is an excellent
exercise.”
Gary feels that cycles will be very effective in urban areas. He adds, “Cycling is the finest form of urban transportation — there will be no air and noise pollution, no parking problem. I think it is a great idea. And especially for Bangalore — the traffic is chaotic here, the best way to make it fast-moving is to ride bicycles and have spacious roads.”
