Yea, you can start with doing 200 pushups a day and need to be able to run atleast 10kms at a stretch...Originally posted by yuv_biKING View Post

Just ride man, don't worry too much about extraneous stuff.
Just ensure that you ride safe and ride in manner that does not pose danger to others. And wear whatever protective gear you have!
PS: Since you ride a 220, have a tubless puncture repair kit, a few spare fuses and chain spray really helps._________________________

@Praful: Do you actually carry the tubeless repair kit with you? And in case of a puncture, do you know how to fix it?Comment

Yes I have always carried the puncture repair kit since my coorg ride, and yes I know how to use it.Originally posted by xinfii View Post
I've used it once already, but you would need a pump to fill air once you are done, its best done at a fuel pump where they have the air facility.
For rides where the closest town is under 300kms, you really don't need to repair the puncture, but for longer rides carrying one is definitely recommended.Last edited by Praful; 11-06-2008, 05:51 PM._________________________

The foot pump is a permanant tenant in my saddle bag. That should give a sigh of relief to many.
@Yuvraj: Nothing to worry about.- Get your bike serviced before the ride.
- Make sure you have enough sleep the previous night.
- Ensure that you wear the 'H' undies (boxer type) while riding. That should relieve you of the @$$ pain.
- Ride ON!
All men dream, but not equally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T. E. LawrenceComment

People who might need the Puncture kit can borrow mine, although i'm pretty doubtful about the patches, they may have gone hard due to disuse but if anyone might need it i'll spare mine for the tripOriginally posted by prafultripathy View Post

And, try and make it dude. If you need excuses, tell your parents you were kidnapped.

Swiggy Mayhem!
We're trying to start an initiative where we're gathering enough photos or videos
of erratic Swiggy/Zomato/UberEats riders across all cities so we can cast a spotlight
on this issue and try and sort it out. If you video-record as you ride, or have a
dash-cam in your car, or can take SAFELY photographs of instances where these riders
are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
us on the thread above. Appreciate it!Comment
