Atcag near Metro Station, MG Road, Bangalore
These bicycles are for hire, operated by Atcag bicycle sharing system. These images were captured in MG Road, near Metro Station, Bangalore.
Cycling is slowly trending in Bangalore but not cycle hiring. Not sure if Atcag is making profits. However, they are into noble cause – popularizing cycling! These cycles are standing there putting a thought to start cycling to those waiting in the traffic inhaling deadly smoke, spoiling their health and of course wasting their precious time.
The cost of hiring the cycle from Atcag seems to be at the higher side. But owning and maintaining a cycle is dead cheap on the long run. The price of the cycle starts from Rs. 5000 and the rich can buy a cycle worth lakhs, the purpose remains the same.
