As a cyclist, the shortest bit of advice I can give to anyone not accustomed to busy Indian roads would be to assume that everyone around you are actively looking to murder you.
At best, you are an ant that they may step on by mistake.
- Pxtl 5y agoI've been to Trivandrum a couple of times - Trivandrum's roads are less lethal than most in India per-collision, but they make up for it on volume. Having visited Buenos Aires, with similarly infamous roads, I thought I knew what I was in for. No. I've never been so terrified to ride in "normal traffic" in my life. High speed mayhem with everything millimeters apart and constantly pushing for position aggressively. I cannot even begin to imagine engaging with those roads as a cyclist.
