I like my bike

MY POST ABOUT CYCLING WAS WRITTEN IN 2008
Riding a bike in Qatar ? No way .
It is very dangerous on the roads and there are no bike paths at all .
During Ramadan when in afternoon the streets become deserted in the afternoon then it is nice .

---------------------------------

I like my bike. I left it in Hungary — it had served me faithfully for so many years.

On the Great Plain of Hungary, the bicycle is more than just a sport or hobby; it’s a means of transport. Simple and practical, it’s how we go to the market or get around town. Over the years, we’ve seen more and more bike paths built — even in Budapest, there are now dedicated lanes for cyclists.

I learned to ride a bike when I was six. It was actually my father’s bike — far too big for me. He would hold me from behind until that glorious moment when I finally managed to keep my balance on my own.

I got my very first bike when I was eight. I had been saving up for a whole year. At the end of the school year, my parents added to my savings, and together we bought a second-hand bike that had never been used. It was just my size. It shone in the sun and had that distinctive metallic smell. I was so happy.

But it was stolen from me during the very first week.

My parents felt so sorry for me that they bought me another one soon after. And  a  lock  ! 

Good News for Bikers

A major track for cyclists has opened recently .It is going along the Al Waab road -which is the road from where you enter Villaggio Mall .It runs to the Aspire zone .There will be soon bike stations as well -to rent a bike .And this is just the beginning ! There will be more and more Bike track in the country .I can't believe it !So great !

I love my bike - I have already told you about that .
Also I have told that it is not very popular thing here . The mean of transportation of some Indian laborers .

Will this ever change here ?
Some people belonging to some sport organization decided to do something about it ! They want to advertise bicycle riding around here .But they admit that it is not an easy mission at all !

Boys tend to refuse riding a bike - so how to make local girls to try it ?

FITNESS SOLUTION IN QATAR

FITNESS SOLUTION IN QATAR

New Year - new plans .Getting fit must be always on our agenda .Here are some advice where and how to get physical here :

1.Cheap solution : walk  ! Corniche

advantage : it is free , by the sea you can breathe the fresh air from the seaside
disadvantage : from the road you breathe less fresh air - however at dawn even the city's air is clean

my tips : always take a mobile with you - it is long and in some hours deserted - the public phones are not always working and you need a card to use them .
there's only one public comfort station all along the 6 km path -be aware of that before your start

Aspire Sport city walking - there is a 3 km path for walking, jogging and cycling .

advantages : it is near some shopping malls -so you can arrange the shopping and the fitness at the same time
every 500 m or so you can find boards with instructions about exercise .
there are guards everywhere
you can find restrooms here and there

Mall walking is the perfect workout, alongside controlled temperatures; it provides a clean and safe environment to exercise. Where can you walk?
Al Khor Mall & Hyatt Plaza: 8am-12am Daily
Landmark & Villaggio: Sunday-Wednesday 8am-10pm and Thursday-Saturday 8am–11pm

Cheap solution : some TV channels also have fitness classes .the  Indian  Zee  Tv has yoga sessions  as early as 5:30 every morning  nowadays
