New Delhi's gonna have its very first Critical Mass ride on Friday night!

:D

Yes, the site looks like ass. But it's being worked on. Cycling fanatics are running around putting up posters and working on T shirts and whatnot.

Delhi got its very first bicycle lanes as part of an overhaul on its hellish traffic and congestion, coincing with the launch of its new modern mass transit rail. Unfortunately Indian traffic being the psychotic anarchy on wheels that it is, motorcyclists and autorickshaws run on the new cycling lanes too and as usual no one's doing anything about it. This is just one of the many issues the Critical Mass ride hopes to address.

It won't be your typical Critical Mass ride, more of a friendly, organized initiation to point out to Delhi that bicycles are a form of transport, are healthy, and are a fantastic and practical solution to the horrible congestion and traffic we see here everyday; and combating a very Indian stereotype that bicycles are a form of transport only for the poor and desperate who cannot afford a motorcycle or car.

This may not be relevant to like 99.9% of you guys reading this but I thought it was so awesome I had to post and share.

The brand new bicycle lanes in New Delhi are being put to good use, as you can see by these pics I took yesterday on my way to Saket from GK 1.





Not pictured are the many speeding motorcycles. The really stupid bit is that they end up stuck at red lights anyway, so using the bicycle lane makes no difference to them. Retards.

This community being dead makes me sad because Delhi is such an incredible city with amazing spirit!

Cheers to _53 for trying a hand at spirit revival!!

Since this community is pretty much dead / dying, I hereby propose today to be random Delhi pic day.

I shall start with this shot taken with my RAZR from the 11th floor of the Modi / Hemkunt Tower in Nehru Place, looking out over part of Kalkaji and Greater Kailash I. 

Go!

Hello everyone. I'm an American living in India for a bit over 3 months. Currently I'm working with an NGO in a village about an hour and a half north west of New Delhi. I'll be here for a few more weeks and then plan to head north to Daramsala. I want to take a bus, but I really don't think I can get into the city ahead of time to buy a ticket. Can I book a ticket online? As far as I can tell, I can't. If I wait until a couple of days before I leave (early June) will there still be tickets left?

My other question is about the train. I'm really happy I can just book e-tickets, but I can't figure out the code for Shimla. The one listed in Trains at a Glance is not on the website. The website lists something very similar (SHIMILIAGUDA(SMLG) instead of SHIMLA (SML) like in the book) but I don't want to book a ticket to the wrong place!

Thanks for any help. I'm loving India (minus the heat!) and already am planning my next trip here.
