goodbye to bicycle?

when i was in school ,bicycle was the vehicle in our village.there was no bus service. no motorbikes. no cars.bullock-cart was the only companion to bicycle.my teachers have many a times taken me to nearby city places for various competitions,exams on their bicycles.i am having albums of those journeys and the fatherly love of my teachers .in pune, satara and other small cities i used to see roads full of bicycle-riders! we can see this documented in some old movies ,especially songs.

but now with the introduction of automobiles bicycles are on the verge of saying goodbye!

this water colour is for those bicycle memories.

i like this painting very much because it really catches the motion!
