Only mad and idiots, run and cycle on road......
Crazy People Run and Cycle on Road
I love to run and cycle. Yes I just love to run long distance and cycle very long distance.
I have been doing for quite some time,long distance cycling but recently completed BRM 200. Also I took to running year ago and have done FM and HM.
Our team moto is sun, wind, cold or rain......we are out of bed and on road....
Yes, summer, winter or rainy season we are on road...
In the past 1 year, I have been entertaining various queries wrt Running and Cycling.
Infact more than queries, it is calling us Crazy, Idiots, fools etc....
Yes we are the crazy ones.....
Today I thought after my morning stupid bike session and yesterday did idiotic run in the rain, and was introspecting the craziness, so here I am penning my equally foolish thoughts.....
1. Roads are meant for 4 wheeler and Heavy vehicles, Isnt it....how dare Runners run on the road.....It is a sin to use the roads to run.....They are crazy to put life of the 4 wheeler folks at risk when they run and cycle on road...Runners and Cyclist cause so much pain and inconvenience to the vehicle owners who have invested lacs for such vehicles....
Hence I say, mad and idiots run and cycle on road...
2. 4 wheelers , heavy vehicles do so much environmental support by causing pollution ,social support by causing accidents, economic support by using fuel and increasing oil import load and many such noble cause.
What the hell, runners and cyclists contribute.....they neither contribute pollution, accidents or fuel usage...only thing they so is maintain less traffic and healthy environment which is atrocious for the health and wealth of nation...
Hence I say, mad and idiots run and cycle on road...
3. When you run or cycle, you are exercising whole body, strengthening legs and thighs. It is keeping your lower body firm and stable, to support your body, help climb stairs, sit for long hours etc
Such damage is strictly not acceptable. It will delay your visit to orthopedic, for treatment and immense loss to medical economy, automobile economy.
On the contrary if you drive vehicle and do not run or cycle, you will soon get pain in legs, knees and lower back will pain. It will be a blessing to sit for less hours at desk, and diminish efficiency and trigger early visit to orthopedic for life long treatment ....
Hence I say, mad and idiots run and cycle on road....
4. When you run or cycle, you have start breathing better, your lungs pump and heart beats. It helps good healthy breathing and building stable heart. Which helps storing good energy, charge your body for the day.
Healthy lungs and healthy heart, are key to good energy.
But this is a sin, such good lungs and heart will delay your visit to pulmonologist and cardiologist. It will also prohibit you from upgrading to new vehicle or luxury SUV.
This is economic impact on Global Imports and also huge impact which may trigger delay of road maintenance and in turn trigger government revenue ....
Hence I say, mad and idiots run and cycle on road....
5. Runners and Cyclists dont shout at each other, they dont honk at each other, they allow followers to pass, give way to vehicles and most important they are talking to each other, they are in conversations on diverse topics, they are smiling a lot ( how dare they smile and be happy, very sinful act).....they implement true spirit of TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More), and all this on road, in tune with nature...
This is not a pardonable act, they are not contributing to any NOISE pollution, no ROAD rage, no PEOPLE CONFLICTS...
This happy joyful healthy people will reduce visits to temple, for praying joy and happiness, will reduce the attendance to gurus and babas for solace and peace due to internal and external conflicts...
Hence I say, mad and idiots run and cycle on road...
6. Runners and Cyclists, shy away or minimal encourage of smoking and frequent heavy alcohol or drug usage....
They become obsessed with healthy life style, good health living.
No! No! how dare they do such conscious and planned act of motivating and encouraging many to follow this good health, and keep them away from good curse of Cancer, Asthma, Addiction , Insomnia and many other beautiful messengers of heavenly curse....
Hence I say , mad and idiots run and cycle on road...
Hence our Govt and Public authorities, are careful and with fore-sight to control such epidemic of running and cycling, bug spreading do not develop good running tracks or cycling tracks.
They leave no stone unturned (literally) so that this crazy runners and cyclists engulf more such patients to good healthy life style.
4 vehicle drivers, Heavy vehicles drunken drivers, License to walk over any such creatures on road the Govt angels of death also do there share to keep this pests , runners and cyclists off the road....
They say where there is a will, there is a way...
As long as we have few crazier ones like Vikas Kumar, Prasad Patil, Pune Running, Aundh Running, COB, Kaushik , Hitesh etc....they will keep coming up with crazier and even more idiotic initiatives...which enhances spread of this mad bug called good health...happy running...cool cycling....challenging self
Like Steve Jobs said for the crazier ones, who dream and dare to do....
This is a cult, which is across age, caste, creed, sex, religion, language.....
Its a bond of good health...
Its a passion which gives damn to threats on road, wrath of sun, chill of winter,lashing of rain....
So for all my idiotic and mad buddies....Lets Have fun....Lets Run
Like Ayn Rand ,John Galt said....
Get the Hell out of my way......

Not all are endowed with the will and resources to follow their passion. You make a difference in others lives, but addiction in any form is equally dangerous.
