This reminded me of a particular quote, I think by an Indian author. To paraphrase "Cars are way too fast, the world speeds past in a blur. Bullock/ox carts are nice but not much faster than walking. Cycling, however, gives you time to say hi and be waved back, while being fast enough to be practical." I wish I could remember the author (maybe Sudha Murthy, Ruskin Bond, Rudyard Kipling or even perhaps Roald Dahl?), perhaps some other HN-er might remember!
