On Sunday morning, south Mumbai got its first cycling track running along Girgaum Chowpatty. This week, cyclists enjoyed the scenic 5-km route from Nariman Point to the Chowpatty. Next weekend, the second half - from Nariman Point to Worli sea face - will also be opened to the public, making it an 11.5-km stretch. The track will be operational on Sundays, between 6 am and 11 am. The authorities will set aside a 3.5-km-wide track on the road. A traffic official said, "Plastic cones will be used to barricade the route to avoid any problem with vehicular traffic."
