Cyclists are teaming up in Delhi, forming a club to promote the bike as a better transportation alternative than the cars that are increasingly flooding the city's streets.
"Buses roar past, belching fumes. Cars weave in and out of imaginary lanes, and auto-rickshaws try to overtake you on the inside."
"It is certainly not the safest way to see the sights in India's capital, and it makes for a dangerous commute. But Delhi's cyclists hope their time is about to come."
"The Delhi Cycling Club has about 250 members at the moment - with a target of 1,000 by the end of the year."
"The cycling club is about to start monthly training sessions for would-be cyclists, and it plans to publish a cycling map of the city - showcasing safer routes and cycle lanes."
"But in a country increasingly obsessed with the latest fad, can the old-fashioned bicycle really compete with the appeal of the world's cheapest car, Nano, launched with such fanfare in Delhi last week?"
