[sustran] Cycle, Cycling Culture and Bollywood

[Asija, Navdeep]

This is unusual post of mine, but I hope u will like it.  As we all know,
unholistic planning and policies has 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.  Instead
of happy riders of yesteryear, now a large proportion of the road crash
victims in India are pedestrians and cyclists.

In Punjab against per 100 people 12 people own bicycle and only 2 people
owns. Saddest part is cycle ownership is there but not ridership due the
reason we all know very well. 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”. They are the people with” no voice”
and have almost no influence over the policy makers road construction
agencies and we have to be the voice of those.  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.

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