Cycling.

Last weekend I went on a bicycle ride with Nibha to the FRI (Forrest Research Institute), which is located in Dehradun. It was exciting to try yet another form of transportation here. You have to be on your guard for rickshaws, vikrams, cars, fruit carts, people, motorcycles, dogs, boars, cows, anything that might possibly appear and crash into you. We took fairly quiet streets and did not encounter any problems.

The FRI is an amazing structure. It was built by the British and is extremely clean. Hundreds of archways. It is a very large complex with several museums and I could see several scientists in their rooms working at their microscopes.
