Block Training - How does it work?
I often stress this - consistency is the bedrock of fitness and training. However, every multi-day bicycle tour makes me a stronger and better rider by the end of the tour.

The Saddle Library
When we look at a new bike, the conversion always revolves about the frame, wheels and groupset, and the modest saddle is hardly ever part of any discussion.

The team at Bike Affair is focused on building a community first and selling the bike is what happens in the process. It is never the other way around. Have been to other stores in the city too and everyone else is looking to make a sale and that is their #1 goal. Nothing wrong with that but what Bike Affair is trying to do is pure passion and what they get from people is faithful patronage. They do have fun and try their best to make sure you love your bike and biking experience regardless of whether you buy a bike from them or not. Highly recommend this place! Singdha Karthikeyan
This has been my go-to place for bike service and components over the last 2 years. Krish, Gokul and the staff are all passionate about riding themselves and it shows in the interactions.
