Cycling in metro cities in India is not an easy task as there are no dedicated lanes for bicycles and one has to navigate through heavy traffic. If one can combine cycling and using public transport, it can be transformative as it helps to cover last-mile connectivity effectively.

Now a viral video on Instagram shows a man taking his bicycle on a Metro train in Mumbai. Harshit Anurag took his bicycle inside a Metro station and bought a ticket for himself. He is then seen using the escalator to reach the platform. He then parks his bicycle in the dedicated stand where it stands upright and then sits on a foldable seat beside it. In the end, he deboards the Metro and starts riding his bicycle on the platform.

“Cycling through the bustling streets of Mumbai and combining it with a ride on the Metro is an exhilarating experience! Navigating the city’s traffic and then seamlessly transitioning to the Metro stations with your bike is a unique adventure. You get to explore different parts of the city, soak in the local culture, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. It’s a perfect blend of urban exploration and fitness,” he captioned the video.
