Rajeev Khandelwal: I love exploring Goa on a cycle
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal celebrated World Cycling Day by expressing his love for cycling, particularly in Goa's scenic locales. He cycles for fitness and the joy of experiencing the breeze. Rajeev Khandelwal , who now calls Goa home, marked World Cycling Day by sharing his deep connection with the bicycle and the freedom it offers, especially when navigating the scenic and peaceful roads around the state. 'I do cycle a lot in Goa,' he says. 'The cycle represents many things for me. I surely use it for fitness, but I also enjoy the whole idea of cycling when the breeze hits you.' Rajeev admits Mumbai isn't ideal for cycling, so he makes the most of it when he's in Goa or travelling abroad. 'I mostly enjoy cycling in Goa, or travelling abroad. In Mumbai, it is tough to cycle. Whenever I go abroad, I mostly hire a bicycle to explore the place. Even when I'm shooting for any project, I hire a cycle to pick up groceries around.' Fitness remains a priority for the actor. And cycling is part of a broader routine. 'I have kept a couple of bicycles in Goa because fitness for me is running, cycling, swimming and gymming- all of it." But beyond the health benefits, Rajeev says his home in Goa gives him something far more valuable- peace of mind. "It's a nice quiet place. There are people across the world here, so meeting and connecting with them and living amongst nature is something I like. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tecno Pova Curve 5G - India's Slimmest 5,500mAh Curve TECNO Mobile Buy Now Undo My house is surrounded by trees and is on a hilltop, and I can see the fields outside my window," he says. 'It's a great way to stay fit' Rajeev shares, "Whenever I am not shooting, I live in Moira. If I cycle for 10–15 km, it's as good as cycling for 30 because of the uphills and downhills. It's a great way to stay fit. Me and my wife, Manjiri, both like to go cycling around Goa. We go to different villages and discover the state on a cycle. There are lanes we wouldn't have seen otherwise, and it's so much fun. There's no noise, and it's so good to cycle around nature, especially during the rains—it gets even more beautiful.' For Rajeev, cycling often turns into a mini-adventure. 'I went to Mayem Lake in Goa—it was one of the most beautiful rides. It was a bit further away but worth it. Reaching the waterfall, parking the cycle, then taking some sandwiches and having a small picnic—these things make me happy. Going on a picnic on a bicycle in Goa excites me. It was a scenic route. Divar Lake was also a good experience. I hope the beauty there is maintained. '

When Rajeev Khandelwal Learnt How To Ride A Bicycle With Jawans
Last Updated: Cycling has always been more than fitness to Rajeev Khandelwal as he feels an unmatched peace when the breeze hits his face. World Bicycle Day is celebrated on June 3 to recognise the versatility and longevity of bicycles, which have been in use for more than two centuries. On the occasion this year, actor Rajeev Khandelwal reflected on his childhood days learning to ride bicycles alongside jawans and emphasised the need for bicycle-friendly roads in Mumbai. During an interview with The Times of India, Rajeev Khandelwal recalled his childhood days when he used to live in army cantonments. Remembering the times, Khandelwal said he used to go to school riding bicycles with the jawans who used to work with his father, and sometimes he cycled too. 'That's how I learned—with the jawans. Those are my earliest memories of riding," the actor noted. After all these years, cycling remains a constant part of his daily routine. 'In Mumbai I cycle to the gym, and that's the most I can manage," Khandelwal stated, expressing the problems he faces while cycling on the streets of Mumbai, as there are only a few cycle-friendly lanes in the city. He further emphasized the need to construct more cycle-friendly lanes so that people can ride cycles without any danger and participate in the environmental well-being. 'In a city like Mumbai, it can really help with beating the traffic and getting around short distances easily," Khandelwal stated. He further noted that cycling has always been more than fitness to him and expressed that he feels an unmatched peace when the breeze hits his face and a sudden gush of calmness sets in him, making him feel totally in control of the moment. For the actor, cycling is like meditating. The actor further added that, in his opinion, cycling is the best way to explore new places. He revealed that when he travels abroad, he also cycles to his destination. Remembering a trip to Switzerland with his wife, Manjiri, Khandelwal revealed they spent an entire day on bicycles. They carried their cycles onto trains, got off in an unknown town, and began exploring the new place on two wheels. 'The experience has stayed with me. Cycling is the best way to explore a new place," Khandelwal stated. First Published:

I learnt cycling with the jawans while growing up, says Rajeev Khandelwal
On World Cycling Day, Rajeev Khandelwal fondly recalls his childhood cycling experiences in army cantonments, learning alongside the jawans. He emphasises the need for more cycle-friendly roads in Mumbai. On World Cycling Day, Rajeev Khandelwal shares his connection with cycling that began in his childhood days while growing up in army cantonments. The actor also talks about how he loves to explore new destinations on two wheels. 'I learnt cycling with the jawans while growing up in army cantonments' Recalling his earliest cycling memories, Rajeev says, 'I'm an army kid and I spent my early days growing up in army cantonments. All the jawans who worked with my father had cycles and they would drop me to school on their cycles with me sitting ahead. Sometimes I cycled too, and that's how I learnt —with the jawans. Those are my earliest memories of riding, and it was so much fun. We'd also cycle to get milk for my mom. Those were such simple, beautiful moments. ' 'There should be more cycle-friendly roads in Mumbai' Even today, cycling remains a part of his routine, 'In Mumbai, I cycle to the gym and that's the most I can manage. There are very few cycle-friendly roads in the city, and often people recognise me, so it gets tough. But I still prefer using the cycle whenever I can. There should definitely be more cycle-friendly roads and zones. I think a lot more people would take it up seriously. In a city like Mumbai, it can really help with beating the traffic and getting around short distances easily. ' He adds, 'A while back, some friends and I went to Sanjay Gandhi National Park with our cycles, but even there, it wasn't very enjoyable. People don't really give space to cyclists. I understand that everyone's in a rush, but it makes it difficult for cycling to be stress-free.' 'Cycling is the best way to explore a new place' When he travels abroad, cycling is his go-to way of exploring the destination. 'Whenever we go abroad, Manjiri (wife) and I like to explore the place on cycles. Even in Switzerland, we spent an entire day on bicycles. We carried the cycles onto trains, got off at new towns and explored them on two wheels. That experience has stayed with me. Cycling is the best way to explore a new place. For me, cycling is not just about fitness. When I'm cycling, there is a certain peace that I feel as the breeze hits my face. A calm sets in and you feel totally in control of the moment."
