Cycling In The Most Traffic Congested City In The World! | Nikhil Kini |

- I switched to using only a Cycle in my home city of Bengaluru, the most traffic congested city in the world, to see if our roads are ready for a revolution in non-motorized transport. Why? Because traffic & air pollution is off the charts, and we need to phase out fossil fuels before it's too late!

These cycle lanes are an effect of DULT, BBMP & WRI coming together for the Bengaluru Smart City (@BLRSmartCity) initiative, a campaign to decongest Bangalore's roads, improve NMT infrastructure & much more. Citizens & cyclists alike have advocated for these campaigns in collaboration with the governing bodies to make them a success.
There are some fantastic initiatives being carried out in Bengaluru by citizens, civil society organizations, corporates and most importantly our government. Its time we step out and support them! I'm linking a few of these initiatives below for your information -
1. #BengaluruMoving - A citizen-driven initiative to unite & rebuild our city with systems that support us by promoting public & non-motorized transport

#NikhilKini #BengaluruMoving #Cycling
Thank you Nikhil & Suraj for showing people that it's absolutely possible to switch to sustainable transport. 🙌 Loved the way you highlighted the need to get sustainable! Here's to promoting #sustainablelove 💙
Ayy! Thanks guys, big fan. Yulu needs to be in every single city 💎
You guys are doing a great job and I wish you guys all the success but I must ask you to incorporate some more safety devices on your cycles. The pedal cycles must be provided with reflectors and side view mirrors for the newbies if you can also add a dynamo powered front lights even better. At the very least please incorporate more reflectors, as of now Yulu riders are also in perennial danger while riding after dark because of low visibility, wish you guys the best.
that "side hogi" hits different for Bengalureans
hahahah
"SIDE HOGI!"
also shouted but not featured in the video - ANNA PLEASE MADAME SIDE HOGI AIYYOO
It’s slightly unsettling that you would ask for “Elneer” without straw. Fun video, Need more of this!
try it, it'll taste extra tastyyy & guilt-free 🥥
Bwahahahah "side hogi" at 6:48 was hilarious !!!
on the roads I had to shout even louder
I don't think so we'll completely switch to cycling primarily because it's Exhausting and there are many reasons why they can't replace normal vehicles but electric scooters like the one which suraj was driving can be considered as an option definitely because of how mobile it is and it ain't exhausting either
I wanna come to Bangalore for those electric cycles
Cycling can become an inter-neighborhood travel option, if work commute becomes impractical. And yes the electric scooters could work too. A network or rental cycles & scooters in combination with the metro and regular buses is the sweet spot!
7:40 aye, you must've lost like 2rs. SUBSCRIBED.
Waiting for this for so long ; P.s. First
🥇
This guy is winning hearts and subscribers 👍
Just started cycling recently..and came across this..loved it💕💕
Yayyy! Enjoy the adventures to come :)
Instructions unclear: landed in blossoms, cannot leave. It's been a week, send help.
(Great video btw!)
hahaha blossoms is truly a labyrinth
Amazing video Kini! I would have shared some cyclist shots from Berlin. There's pretty amazing infrastrcuture for cycling here too. To see Bangalore improving on cycling lane is pretty amazing. Thanks for making this video :)
One of my favourite travel memories is cycling through Amsterdam with my dad. The investment in non-motorised transport across Europe is just so refreshing. Make one Berlin cycling vlog for your channel! :)
This is a very important vlog because about 29 percent of pollution comes from transportation! I live in Dubai and though its developing at the speed of light it doesn't prioritize pedestrians, cyclists and anyone on bikes. There is a lack of shading and with the temperature that UAE withholds its impossible to commute longer distances without sunburns and this could be you driving at 7 in the morning. Another issue, Nikhil, is the way the city is planned. Education institutions are super far from residential spaces etc. and likewise for other spaces. And the pandemic has had people realize the importance of activity and the IMPACT of our actions on the environment. But, Suraj and you stirring this conversation is all applause! ALSO, SIDE HOGI!!!! AHAHAHhaha
“Side hogi side hogi”

Already in love with the city!!🔥🔥❤
Such a well made video, Nikhil!! Getting better with every new video 💜
💃
What a great guy... he should host Menu Please.
Netflix I hope you're lissnin!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. The narration, the clean cuts - absolutely loved it. Kini - Best Bengaluru Boy
What a thoughtful comment, thank you!
This was entertaining as well as educational. you deserve more subs.
Loved the intro n storytelling is eeeeppppiiiicccccc bro 💙😁 The new info you've give us is too good 🤗
🥺👏 your editing is the best dude
Bro keep growing 1day you definitely. .. all konw how is Nikhil .... Keep it up we support ing you
He said, "I'm volunteering as 'Kini-pig' or am I just hearing puns?
*oink*
rashbari entered the chat😁😁😆😆😅😅
Crazy videography
HIS VIDEOS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER :)
This vid is sick!!!! We defo gotta do something like this is mumbai! Great work bud
Set my bed , got some biscuits , got my choco milk got comfortable
well my friend it was time for the new Nikhil Kini video ✨✨✨
Your nighttime ritual sounds so comforting
choco milk > chai, any day! 🍫
Very interesting video! Do you know the channel NotJustBikes? I'm a big fan of that, it compares cycle infrastructure in The Netherlands and North America and basically shows everything that's wrong with car centric city designs, it's very educational. It's great to also get an insight in what it's like in India! I feel like many developing countries tend to copy the American model and just build more roads for cars rather than focusing on cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, which would be better and would make cities far more livable
Side hogi was epic 🤣🤣
I'm so happy he came to bangalore
that 360º camera blew my mind 😳
Lovely video, lovely message❤
I bought a bicycle once and took it for a spin in Gurgaon. That's it. That's my amazing bicycle story.
I actually love cycling very much but the area where I live (RR Nagar) isn't like what it used to be. The road here has potholes for every meters and is very bumpy too so isn't suitable for cycling. And not to mention the crowds, like people here literally walk in middle of the road 😭 Another headache is that people park their huge cars on both sides of the road where even the BMTC buses can barely travel through these roads 🤕
And well, since I'm an degree student now my whole day just goes for going to college, coming back from college, do the assignment and get ready for next day lol ~
FULL :)
I still don’t know how to ride a bike and every time I try It doesn’t go well but it seems like such a nice way to get around
The parking problem is the main reason why most of my friends and I, who love cycling, don't cycle.
Ya hopefully parking infrastructure comes along with more tracks & cyclists. The cycle rental place I got mine from provided a mental bike lock.
@@NikhilKini mental bike lock?
What kind of superpower is that?
I hope you meant metal 😂
I usually park it along with bikes or literally any place that people won't go to like under stairs etc and lock it😂. Since its a cycle turns out people don't mind it if you ask permission.
@@kunalbohra8263 everyone can follow this advice until there's proper facilities
Really appreciate .... I mean this the kinda content we need now... people need to be more aware ... like I am a bangalorain and I didn't know...
I fell into a drain while learning how to cycle; have kept my distance from cycling since. 🤦♀️
Also, there's an elephant in the room.
aiyyo! do get back on the bike saddle I promise you you'll have a great time :) especially on the new cycle tracks
Really well edited!!

Side hogi
Damn that 360 degree lens is too cool!
Awesome video 👍 I think, whoever can, should use cycles for transport. It's a great way to reduce pollution and get healthy 👍👍
Hi Nikhil the video was awesome with a lot of information...cycle is a great vehicle with abundance of positivity on its side...I travelled 30km on cycle this Sunday n it was a delightful experience..
30 KM 🤯
What a star!
😂😂 very enjoyable, funny, and at the same time inspiring!!! Please keep it up.
Wow that's amazing.. nice vlog! ❤️
also these videos are so well-produced they could literally air on TV
Relocating to Whitefield and I am thinking of cycling till office. I don't know it is practical. I will see. New to bangalore.
Hi. good to see that you cycled around and completed your chores. It was 11 am? Was it too sunny? Which bicycle was that? I am looking to buy for myself? Any suggestions.
Hey bro,
Really liked your video.
Will use cycle as more as I can here in my city too. Simply great stuff.
Dude yes! You'll get fit + save money on fuel + do your bit for the environment and MORE all at the same time. GAD BLESS, DEAR 🚴♂️
Love how your videos are so entertaining, and yet they have such good intentions 💕
Thanks Ayati!
Such amazing content man...loved the video💥
Loved everything about the video! 🔥🔥
Really enjoy you speak Kannada inbetween ☺️
:)
For non Bengalureans, what is shown in this video is not even close to 10% of what a cyclist experience in the city at present, ie 2024. What is shown here is a leisure ride during non peak hours, which is not the right use case for a cycle. Chaotic traffic, and drivers with no road sense, over speeding, heavy vehicles(bus, medium sized trucks), rash autos, pot holes, speed(back) breakers...the list goes on. Cyclist brave all odds, and the only thing they survive on is a GOOD SET OF BRAKES, AND LOADS OF LUCK!! To be frank, India will never let the cycling co-exists anymore ... still we do love cycling :-)
Hi I am Amar..I have Hornit dB140 Cycle Horn but barmount is damaged....please let me know where will I can purchase...I am Bengaluru
You from Indiranagar.. which side .. I stays here in 7th main decency colony besides Indiranagar Club ..

Hi. Any idea where I can rent a bicycle near HSR? Is HSR good for cycling?
Well atleast they are walking on footpath I felt that in my city on smart road there is cycling lanes, blind freindly wide footpath but most of the pedestrian still walks on road 😑
Love Nikhil bhai 😁❤️🎉⚡

So basically when I was learning to cycle all the people who taught me to cycle fell but I didn't😆😆
That's so hilarious 😂 were you cycling too fast or something?
@@NikhilKini nooo my dad panicked that I was about to fall.. But I didn't... But he did🙈😂
What camera is that?
I appreciate your effort to speak in Kannada... 😊

It seems your vlogs are inspired from Casey neistat 💯🤔🧐🤨
Is it nikhil?
The video is really awesome (as always) 3:27 the dog's name is Brownie, I have a pic with him😜.
Hahaha wow I'm so happy to know that this St. Bernard is a celebrity dog. All those Church Street shots were captured by Bengaluru based TH-camr Heena Raheja who was sweet enough to allow me to use them in my video!
Woah that's great!
