Shunashir Sen shunashir. sen@ mid- day. com Itu2019s post noon. Morning peak hours are supposed to be over. But the traffic on the way to Wadala says otherwise. Itu2019s like an urban portrait of still life.

The incessant honking is anything but music to the ears, and the fumes emanating from the cars smell like the opposite of roses. Thereu2019s a palpable impatience in the areau2019s polluted air when the driver of the auto I am in says that this is how far he can go. Only taxis are allowed hereafter. Tough luck. So I get off and change my mode of CNG transport to reach my destination, a shop called The Cycle Worx, which has launched an in- house store for an e- bike called Bergamont. Thatu2019s what I am out to test- ride.
