They feel that they are in front, and you shouldn't pass them. They remind me of the slow-moving-runners who increase their pace, when you near them. And when this happens they will accelerate, causing problems for you.

There are many slow-moving-idiots-on-vehicles whose egos get hurt, as soon as you pass them.

On both ways there is a left turn, which you should be very wary of, if you are going straight.

Cycling on Domlur flyover is slightly scary.

Major advantage at traffic jams/signals: you can pick up the bike, become a pedestrian, and easily come to the front.

You have a super-power(?) which makes you invisible to Bangalore auto-wallahs.

Overtaking buses at the bus-stop from either side is not a very bright idea - they will anyway overtake you.

There is a proper way to shift gears, which every newbie cyclist must learn.

Switching from a motorbike to a bicycle also requires a reflex switch - I was looking inside my non-existent rear-view mirrors.

This time around I was much braver with the gears and was happily playing around with them. I was a bit circumspect about shifting gears and mostly stayed on the 4th gear (2-4, if you are curious). There was very little traffic and overall the ride was smooth. I started the trip towards office at 7:15 AM. Today I drove my bicycle to work and back. The river itself has lots of rocks lending more to the scenery.

On the other bank one can see hills and lot of greenery. The camp is set on the banks of the Kaveri river. I managed to balance the bike successfully till the last moment, when I saw the camp exulted lost concentration and the bike fell down. The last 2 KM are especially treacherous as it is all down hill. It's all loose gravel and controlling the bike becomes quite difficult. Of course the actual camp is another 8.8 KM away.

Head another 8 KM and you will reach near the camp.

Go around 7 KM and you will see a board saying 'Doddamkali Fishing Camp' and asking you to take a left.

When you hit a 'T' junction, take a left.

In between the road becomes a bit rugged, but it smoothens out soon.

Enjoy the beautiful Kanakpura road (NH-209) for around 80 KM.

Proceed around 7 KM on NICE and take the left to Kanakpura road.

Take the right heading towards NICE road.

Head towards the national park on Bannerghatta road.

Other than enjoying the greenery, you can sip on Kingfisher Premium Lager Beer, jump into the waters of Kaveri, play volleyball, and do a bit of fishing. It's a jungle lodge on the banks of Kaveri around 130 KM from Bangalore. I and few friends of mine went to Doddamakali Nature Camp over the weekend.
