It was after 6 o'clock in morning I left my den for the house of Angela as we decided to meet their before reaching Zero point. I told Rana to wait at Zero point for us. When I reach their she was a bit angry on me for being late. Dilip was there before me. I was shocked to see the size of Dilip's bag. For a single moment I thought he was carrying all the loads that we will be needing in our tour. I asked him if he could make left something from the bag before we start. The answer was negative. As I was not even
familiar with cycling so I asked him previously to carry the Laptop of Angela to prepare our daily website. The Laptop was nearly four kilograms. Now watching his load I forbid him to carry the Laptop and forget about having our website prepared daily basis. But while we were going to ground floor the strap of Dilip's bag tear off from one side and it was hanging as a danger sign before even we could paddle our cycle. This scenery was totally unexpected for us. Dilip went
upstairs with Angela hoping to fix it and I set out for the Zero point.
I knew I was slower than them. I reached at Zero point and saw Rana with his brothers. They were asking what happened to me as I was all dirty with white shirt on me. The were very worried when they heard the reason. I told them frankly that I had an accident while I was coming here. The situation was like I was by touching the pedestrian as close as possible and suddenly a bus far away from me brake to see the Red Light. My mind was telling me to use break but the hands were not trying to brake as if they were glued to the handle of the cycle. So without loosing any speed I hit the bus directly from behind and fell down. We waited for some times for Dilip and Angela and after half an hour they arrived. Thank God, Dilip was able to unload some of his luggage's. So, we were ready ultimately to set out for the "BANGLADESH TOUR". By eight o'clock we started from Zero Point for Narayanganj. We started cycling facing towards East. Crossing Jatrabari we went straight and we follow the easiest route to leave Dhaka. And before we entered the boundary of Narayanganj we stopped once for some minimum servicing as pumping the tube, checking the fluid, tightening the bags of our cycle & drinking water. Already I fell from cycle a lots of time as I was passing the first day of my cycling at Main Road. (Yes dear, believe it or not this is my first day of cycling at main road. I loved travelling so much that I was always dreaming I would travel to all the districts of my country and after finishing that tour I will start for a world tour. So I tried to learn cycling in the field. As I was always afraid of the high speed vehicles, I did not come to main road or even side road. But when it comes to the subject of Bangladesh tour I become a dare devil and I thought I would die in the road rather sitting idle with fear of having accident of high-speed vehicles. Thus I ride in the cycle at main road of Dhaka City at 9 o'clock 7th September and here I am out to tour around all the districts of my country by cycling and it is not 24 hours yet I am riding in main road.) |
