Why is cycling looked down upon in India?

🚲 India shames cyclists. Europe celebrates them.

Who’s actually smarter?

Here, if you cycle, people assume you’re broke.

There, if you cycle, people assume you’re smart.

That mindset gap is shocking for a country aiming to be a global leader.

We brag about our tech, our startups, our GDP…

but a simple, safe cycle lane?

❌ Still a dream.

Because here, cycling = downgrade.

But the truth?

🟢 Cycling = health, efficiency, freedom, cleaner air, happier cities.

Every day roads get worse.

Every year pollution rises.

Every month fuel prices climb.

And we STILL treat the simplest solution like a status insult.

This is not a “cycling issue.”

It’s a 🚫 respect issue.

It’s a 🚫 design issue.

It’s a 🚫 mindset issue.

🇮🇳 India deserves cities built for PEOPLE — not chaos and cars.

We shouldn’t have to fly to Europe to enjoy a basic cycle ride.

If you want safer lanes, better cities, healthier lives…
