Every morning in Bengaluru's premium gated communities, hundreds of kids with perfectly good cycles at home are climbing into vans. 45 minutes each way. Drowsy. Passive. Disengaged. I watched this for years as a parent — and decided to fix it for my own son first. For 6 months, my son and I cycled 13km one-way, every school day -from Amruthahalli to DPS Bangalore North. 120 out of 130 days. Through monsoon. Through traffic. Through the works. 2,500+ kilometres later, I had my answer: this works.
