While this blog might not have received too much attention the last few weeks, its far from reality in the real world.
Its been a hectic couple of weeks at BumsOnTheSaddle leaving us with no time at all to talk about all the goodness and the fun !
- New brands at BOTS – the last couple of weeks saw Cannondale, Bianchi and Kona all being available at BumsOnTheSaddle
- Engineering new products/services/ideas (some a secret, some not such a secret)
- Redoing the bike space – will post up pics soon
- Lots of community building – more educative session being planning, movie nights, new communities etc
and much much more
Each of these bullet points deserve a separate post. And we promise to do so soon.
So whats exciting this month ?

Although we don’t have any part to play in organizing/running the Cyclathon, it feels good to know that BumsOnTheSaddle played a very important part in laying the foundation for this and other cycling infrastructure that’s starting up across the country.
Definitely feels good to receive email from all over the country saying tat they love what we do. Yay !

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CYCLING
I love riding my bike. Whether it’s a simple commute, a high-intensity road race, a jaw-grinding brevet, fixie rides thru packed Indian city or a kick-ass technical single track – I love it all. Apart from riding bicycles, I love being all geeky and know everything there is to know about bicycles, technology, bike fit, and service.
I started BUMSONTHESADDLE to share this passion for cycling.
