My New Bike

I bought a bike (bicycle). Planning to commute between my house to office. The distance will be around 5-6 Km (one side). While doing research I found lot people like me who are using bikes (bicycle) for this purpose. I bought Firefox Tempest. Cost was 7400/-. You can see details here http://www.firefoxbikes.com/tempest.htm

I found very interesting Advantages of Cycling (http://deepakmajipatil.blogspot.com/)
