I go on cycling trails whenever I need to reconnect with nature: Bhakti Kubavat
Bhakti Kubavat joined us for a ride on World Bicycle Day
Going for cycling rides acts as a refreshing break for me amidst the busy schedules,' says
Bhakti Kubavat
, who joined us for a ride along with her pet Zeke to celebrate World Bicycle Day. She adds, 'We usually travel in cars and our exposure to nature is almost zero.
I go on cycling trails whenever I want to reconnect with nature and breathe some fresh air, away from the city's noise and pollution.
'
The Bushirt T-Shirt actress talks to us about her childhood memories of cycling, her dream destination for cycling trails and more. Excerpts:
'As a child, I wanted to go everywhere on my cycle'
My first cycle had stabilisers for support. Learning to cycle unleashed a hidden passion in me, as I wanted to ride a cycle every day and everywhere.
I even used to urge my parents to let me cycle to school at a very young age. While growing up, be it for buying groceries or meeting my friends, I only wanted to travel by bicycle. My fondest memory is learning to ride on two wheels after removing the stabilisers (training wheels).
My parents would teach me how to ride with balance, while my sister would hold me while I used to sit on the cycle and then give me the much-needed push while starting (a ride).

'Cycling helps you to stay in shape and lose weight'
Very early in life, I realised the benefits of cycling and it has always been my favourite workout. It is a full-body workout that allows you to stay in shape and lose weight faster. Also, spending time amidst nature has become a luxury for us now. Through cycling rides, I get to do it. I love cycling on roads.
'I want to go on a cycling trail in Maasai Mara'
Whenever I travel out of India, I skip other travel options and explore cycle trails. There are more such trails abroad and I have been blessed to explore some beautiful destinations abroad on cycle. However, there are two places I would like to explore on cycle. I lived in Junagadh as a child and used to go on walking trails to Mendarda, my grandparents' place, which is 25kms from the city. I would love to explore the same route on cycle now.
Also, it is my dream to go on a cycling trail in Maasai Mara.
