I bought a cycle for fitness purposes and planned to cycle everyday for like 5 to 10kms. But due to the traffic, dogs and steep roads I am already giving up just after few days. I live in a pretty conjusted area with a lot of vehicle movement. Cycling at anytime of the day is very difficult here. At early mornings dogs are a very big problem. 9/10 dogs chase after a cycle, so cycling on cross roads is big no. If I go to the main roads, due to empty roads at the early mornings all the vehicles will be speeding, and it scares the shit out of me when they pass just few metres next to me at 70 kmph.

At evenings, the vehicle movement is so much that I will be honked, stared and cursed. Two wheelers trying to overtake cars/bus from left side honk at me like anything when I am going on the left most side of road. I don't know what do they expect when they honk at me, I can't even go to the side to give them space as I would be at the leftmost side.
