Hi and I've been to Mumbai it was called Bombay when I was there

Hi. Do you ride on the road? For transport or leisure? How is it over there?

 

[Chris S]

Welcome!

I'd love to see a photo of your bike!

It's probably one of these. I'm surprised they're not imported into the UK by Argos (etc). They typically retail for less than £50 and can't be any worse than the Chinese BSOs that they sell.

Welcome aboard. Which bike did you buy? I was watching some youtube video a few weeks back and came across an Indian brand "Hero" which is very popular there.

Hello Everyone,
@everyone I am really happy to be part of such happy cycling community , being a noob I really need lots of help and advise and I know I have come to right place. The bike i just got is Avon Orbita(Pic attached), as I understand its locally manufactured in India and should be fine for person like me. Once I start getting taste of cycling I will start experimenting.

@numbnuts I love Mumbai aka Bombay and really happy to know you have visited it in those golden times.
@MichaelW2 in lockdown cycling community really boomed, every one started cycling around and now there is shortage of cycles available for sale. I am going to be using it for leisure and fun.
@Oldhippy thank you
@Chris S Got it for approx 150-160 Euros and prices are going up due to shortage
