Hello from India!
Hi, I'm from Bangalore, India.. it's nice to be here. Also a little scary since there's so much information to process that things can get a little overwhelming. 
Okay, so me.. I'm a professional musician. Trying to go car-free, and mostly succeeding. I love me my beer, I would rather be travelling. I'm probably going to end up doing a long tour of my country at some point, but for now I'm just taking each day as it comes. I have a starter orbea mtb (with a nice frame, though) that I'll gradually upgrade into my very own personalized monstrosity, and BF will play a big part in helping me with that.
Apologies if this is random and disconnected, typed it out on my phone.

Welcome. Just so I have a picture of this young Indian musician biking around and playing music, what kind of music do you play? Are you a vocalist or instrumentalist? And of course, what do you use your bicycle for? Commuting, local transport, etc...

About my bike, I primarily use it for commuting and getting around town. The main problem is parking when I get to where I want to go. Things are improving because we have a small but vocal group of bikers here, and the Bangalore Transport Commissioner is a biker too.
When I have the time, I just head out to see the countryside. It gives me a nice feeling to be doing that on my own power. Ride a few trails now and then, nothing hardcore. Had to stop for a while after fracturing my shoulder while downhilling; my arm still hasn't recovered.

Heh, I'll just tag along. Hello from another Bangalorea rider here. Rode with mudeth before he broke his shoulder.
Was into road biking till a nasty accident in February. Picked up an MTB after that, a Trek 4300.
Commute on a bike, living car free is easy when you don't own one lol. This place has good public transport and really ****ty traffic, so it works out wonderfully.
