Bicycle racks on BMTC buses, Bangalore becoming a cycle friendly city.

A great initiative by BMTC, bicycle racks on buses. They hold 2 cycles at a time. The racks will be retrofitted to buses plying the ORR route which will soon have a dedicated bicycle lane. Hope Bangalore becomes the cycling capital of India. Kudos BMTC!
