Cycle, Cycling Culture and Bollywood

This is an unusual post of mine, but I hope u will appreciate it.  As we all know, unholistic planning and policies have just not influenced and reduced the bicycle usage and cycling culture across the country but also forced Bollywood to chance their onscreen mode of transportation. Happy riders of yesteryear are the road crash victims of Today.

 

In Punjab against per 100 people 12 people own bicycle and only 2 people owns a car. Saddest part in Punjab is, cycle ownership is there but not ridership, due the reasons well known to all of us. Facilitation and early licensing to one car user going to put life of 12 cycle user and many pedestrian at risk and government claim it as achievement.

Anyways, I made this collection of bollywood songs, being picturised or written on theme "Cycle and Cycling". 

Today's cyclists are the people with" no voice" and have almost no influence over the policy makers road construction agencies and we need to be the voice of them.  See, in this era of transition for both transport planner and Bollywood, if we can do something to revive the cycling culture on our roads and Bollywood, it will be really great to humanity i belive.

Eenjoy listening and this collection might help to remind our policy makers to think about the need of those who matters most to our society;
