Todd Tyrtle

Cycling in India was a real joy. I made my route mostly by using Google *walking* directions which led me down narrow dirt roads between fields and away from traffic. When there was traffic it felt very practical. Sometimes daring but never aggressive.

Food and drinks were always available and I ate so many aloo paratha. Can you get any better cycling food than bread stuffed with potato?

Wherever I went people always stopped to say hello, have a chat and take a selfie. #BikeJoy #Biketooter

@toddtyrtle That sounds delightful. How was the heat? Was it hilly where you were?

@pgh_gamer I was in the Aravalli foothills so moderate hills but mostly flat.

Not hot at all. I left Delhi in early December and needed a light windbreaker in the morning. It would get up to around 20C. Glad I didn't wait any longer as it gets really cold in Delhi. Some mornings were just above freezing. Next time I will do it when it is warmer. Maybe late winter - February or early March are nice there.
