Also be careful not to ride when the roads are deserted/dark/late night for security reasons.<br /><br />There are cycles with different sizes.. my cycle is Medium (M) sized.Payenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904144587086282411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-88752998590120401972012-07-27T12:22:02.850+05:302012-07-27T12:22:02.850+05:30Hi, I am a 5.2" girl and i would like to star...Hi, I am a 5.2" girl and i would like to start cycling to work.

The Firefox bikes were good compared to the Raliegh, but then I found the btwin slightly better in terms of overall quality and attention to details.<br /><br />Will post a detailed write up on my new cycle on a later post.<br /><br /><br />A 2: The helmet cost Rs. 999 and is from "btwin" itself. The Shorts, Shades and floaters are not part of the bike's package. <br /><br />Would be cumbersome to put on/off and carry knee/elbow guards to my office daily, so currently haven't got them.<br /><br /><br />A 3: It's around 6-7 kms (<i>one way</i>) trip from my place to office. Am keeping my office laptop in the office itself, so the back pack remains quite light.<br /><br /><br />A 4: Office timings are pretty early in the morning, so that should take care of the Summer. <br /><br /><br />A 5: "<i>Necessity is the mother of all inentions</i>" <b>:-)</b>Payenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904144587086282411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-63107624710992765192011-10-17T16:17:45.379+05:302011-10-17T16:17:45.379+05:30Q 1 : Why Btwin?
