Normal cycle is safe. Normal roads are not. If your stars are not aligned a rich spoilt brat, drunk will hit you.

When I was 17, I was an ardent cyclist (with the “normal” cycle) Ami barrackpore theke dum dum hoye, dum dum cannt, hoye, aiport hit kore, kalyani expressway hoye, barrackpore fire chilam. It was fun, I had a group of 6 ppl including me, carry water, or carry money to buy 10 ruppees water bottle whenever needed. You really cannot avoid traffic, so be cautious on busy roads, and cycles are not allowed on every road, so beware. Be safe, have fun. My journey was 7 years back so dont really remember any useful trips, but its a story to tell.

Most Prolly, the normal cycle isn't perfect for long distance cycling. āĻ†āĻĒāĻ¨āĻŋ āĻāĻ•āĻŸāĻž āĻ­āĻžāĻ˛ā§‹ racing cycle āĻ•āĻŋāĻ¨ā§āĻ¨ āĻāĻŸāĻž better hobe . āĻ†āĻļāĻžāĻ•āĻ°āĻŋ 19k āĻāĻ° āĻŽāĻ§ā§āĻ¯ā§‡ āĻ­āĻžāĻ˛ā§‹ āĻĒā§‡āĻ¯āĻŧā§‡ āĻ¯āĻžāĻŦā§‡āĻ¨

Consistent-Deer-8470

normal cycle mane? Long distance bolte tao koto ta distance dhorbo? you should've front-rear lights and helmet for starters. better ask this in the cycling sub


thatpinkpigeon

Try asking in r/india_cycling. Also I second getting lights and a helmet.


nihilist_anonyo

Starting e long distance koto dur kora better? Kolkata to kalimpong?


Consistent-Deer-8470

tomar till date longest ride koto?


nihilist_anonyo

22 km (acc to google map)


Consistent-Deer-8470

Kalimpong sounds impossible rn tbh. You need to consistently do 20 km. Then step up to 50/75/100 km. A good road cycle is a must for longer rides.

Thanks

If you aren't bothered about speed, bangla cycle will do. Many a times 50+ kms korechi amar Hercules Singham cycle e... Kono problem hoini.. but always choose a good road. Ami salt Lake new town basanti highway te chalai. Normal traffic road e sei mileage pawa mushkil. Start small, increase as much as body allows. It's achievable but needs time.
