During my childwood I puchased Hercules MTB I used this very roughly from 8th std to 12th std.I was totally fit and enjoyed my riding each day , this was the basic model without any gears but I used to ride for 20kms every day. (1993 to 1998). My cycle was my life at this time.


Later in 2002 I entered the software profession I was fit healthy and muscular, but down the time this stamina got declining,


My friends and readers(Other Software professionals) will know why it happened to me?


Reason : Sloggin and working on computer for a long time. Life style totally changed I used my car and 2 wheeler for most of the transportation.


I was really embarrassed and depressed reg my health and my situation, but I never found a way to overcome this, but I always used to repent on this.


Then on one day I thought I will commute to office by using cycle.


I took Hero Hawk (With out gears) forcommunting from office to home, I rode this for 1 month, but I used to put lot of efforts on cycling.


Later I developed back pain because this cycle was not a perfect design for my body’s attributes(iam 100 Kilos and 5’7") The seat of this bicycle is really pathetic


I donated this bicycle(Hero Hawk)


My health started declining onceagain daily I used to think weather I will survive or not for the another 1 year.


I started doing Yoga and Brisk walking now iam fit and energetic now I love myself and have pride about myself .


After 2 months I wanted to go for a bicycle once again but but this time I did a lots of research on bikes and came to know that I have to use a good bike(BICYCLE) where in which the efforts for pedalling should be very very less this and this are all my findings.

For me I dont wanted to invest a large amount for bicycle, because if some theft happens I would repent a lot then I dont wanted to go for an international or imported brand because of maintainence issues.


so I choosed 2 indian Brands


1) Hero and 2) Hercules.


With the review comments that what I have read in the internet directly I rejected hero brand.


My inclination started growing with hercules. and I decided to go for any one of the below bikes


1) Hercules Wow (18 Gear)


2) Hercules dtb 5(21 gear)


While commuting to office with my Petrol Vehicle I always scanned the roads for this higer end bicycles I found a couple of riders with Hercules Wow. They gave me the best feed back reg this Bikes.


Then I made my mind to buy hercules WoW (18 Gear)- 5500RS.


To make this decesion I have done mining on the different category of cycles.


The feedback from various people who were using Hercules Wow is amazing. I will be purchasing this bicycle at the earliest and I will presume my cycling journey of my life once again to keep myself fit , energetic, active and to build stamina.


I have done lots and lots of research on bicycles.


Below are some of the links you can look in to (Because I have used this links for my initial research)
