<World Bicycle Day, June 3> In the rocky and desolate countryside off Nashik, as one approaches the Western Ghats, a bicycle lover has created a highway resort overlooking the mine-pit hollows and a solitary windmill. His / their love for biking is evident as one enters the complex and finds a bike track and a model of  an old bike displayed in the lawn. No rent is charged from biking enthusiasts. Exploring the resort one finds handle-bars, wheels, chain-sprockets, cross-bars, steel rims, paddles and even saddles of different shapes used as functional art pieces. Signs outside washrooms, a combination of mirrors above wash basins, light fittings etc. amplify their love for bicycles.

The tall bushes in this region fight for every drop of moisture and produce some stunningly coloufull thorny-flowers.
