Utility Cycling is not a ‘sport’ but ‘transport’
With days passing by, the fare of the public and private transport services keeps on rising and there seems to be no change that would benefit your pocket. It is a rising concern for the entire country but we hardly see any solution to the problem. Related to this issue, let us shed some light on one of the most relatable topics- ‘Utility Cycling’. Before we discuss how utility cycling can be related to your daily life, let us focus on what it is. You have often cycled for the sole purpose of relaxation or leisure, but utility cycling is confined to the daily commute. Utility Cycling is not ‘sport’ but ‘transport’.
How can you relate to utility cycling remains the question here. You end up spending thousands of bucks on traveling from home to office per month. And not just that, the additional maintenance cost of your own vehicle remains on you. Besides, the public transport system is not very comfortable either taking into consideration the traffic jam and the office hour rush. Utility cycling is a well-known practice in the western countries, and the aim is to spread the good word of how helpful it is.
You often get up in the morning after a good night sleep, and get ready for work- and surprise! you are waiting in the long traffic queue. You have to be patient, have a strong will and battle irritation before you even reach work. Let us explore a few more areas where you can relate to Utility cycling as a daily option. For a moment, even if we forget the traffic jam, we definitely cannot forget the rush in public transport services. The buses are often filled with passengers and accommodate more than the capacity the bus can hold and you have to adjust to the crowd. It is very demotivating for your work, taking into account the journey to the workplace you have undertaken. Another very relatable issue is the management of time. To reach your workplace in time is something in your professional career that you cannot neglect. And finally, the environment that we all share also needs care, and utility cycling takes a step towards the better future of the planet.
Utility cycling is a solution that addresses all the above mentioned daily issues. All you need to do is cycle to work and enjoy your ride to reach your destination on time in a very happy mood, and that will definitely motivate and energize you. You need not reach your workplace late, but rather reach in time dodging all the traffic woes and mocking the long queues of motor vehicles. Secondly, utility cycling is similar to traveling in your own vehicle. You ride at your comfort and the speed that suits you and none of the obstacles will hinder your way to work. You need not compromise with someone else for comfortable seating when you take up utility cycling as the preferred mode of commutation to work. Utility cycling is the answer to the question that bothers millions of people in this country. Spending huge numbers on traveling to work is widely criticized by the masses. Utility cycling is very pocket-friendly and helps your savings take a hike and fill your pockets. The most important connection that is between utility cycling and the citizens of the country is it helps save nature and protect the environment from all the harmful gases emitted from the motor vehicles. We surely can live with a lesser amount of carbon dioxide in the air than what is present currently.
Utility cycling is now just an alternative option, but how long would it take for us citizens to take up the good habit and make it a trend? It surely is free of side effects that could cause any harm and moreover provides a bonus by keeping you fit and saving a lot of your time. Yulu believes in building a society that favors its residents and also makes the roads congestion free. Yulu has taken the initiative to promote utility cycling in this country and protect the environment and help build a better society, but it would all make sense only when you make it a trend for the society to follow. When you find the issues so relatable, nothing should stop you from utility cycling. To help you take up the practice, Yulu is providing bicycles for rent at affordable rates- all you have got to do is scan and rent a bicycle using our app and #PedalTheChange.

6 年When are you planning to launch in Gurgaon? We just had an OK experience of using Mobycy app and bicycle for the first time in our newly occupied society in Gurgaon. It is discontinued due to poor response... Mostly because of bad quality of bicycles. Not sure if you have any revenue making plans for societies.

6 年India is a very dangerous country for cyclists. There are no lanes dedicated to cycles. Traffic is so dangerous, that I even refuse to drive a car here and stick to public transportation leaving manoeuvring through traffic, to the taxi or auto driver. You ought to first work with the government and city planners on bike lanes.
