Bike Side Stand!!!

Bike Side Stand!!!

Though there are very good qualities among Pune people, which I am admiring and have been mentioning on my earlier posts, here is one quality among some people of Pune which makes to think weird.

This is my own count. If a person at least goes for a walk for about 15 minutes per day in a versatile timing, I am sure that he would definitely notice minimum 2 bike riders, riding the bike without taking off the side stand. Though this can be seen in any other places, I have seen many numbers repeatedly and I am seeing in Pune only continuously. 

Probably, when I came to Pune, I thought, I did not notice this in Chennai and other places. However, when ever I go to other cities, I made it a point to notice this mandatory and finally ending up the count more in Pune!!!

This is not to tell ill about the people, but to bring awareness of the same. I shout at them on the road "Side stand dhek lo", so that they can make sure that they remove and they travel safe.

I have told this to many of my friends and colleagues and some of them came back and told me that they could able to tell the bike riders to take off the stand after deliberately noticing this when walking on the road. 

So it is my request to bike riders, to positively take off the side stand in bikes before changing the gears!!!!
