Back in August, when we hopped on to a bicycle for Odati's famous heritage cycle tours across south Mumbai, it was a discovery of the city's many hidden gems and tons of fascinating trivia about places that we may have missed a million times before. 
Did you know, for example, that the CST Railway Station was modelled on the lines of London's St Pancras Railway Station? Or that Wayside Inn once stood where today's Silk Route is located, and that this was where Dr Ambedkar is said to have written the first words of the Indian Constitution, on a tissue paper?
This Saturday, you get to recreate the same mood as Odati Adventures, in collaboration with Bombay HUB, have organised a tour around the Fort area. The route crisscrosses small lanes, localities, quaint Irani joints and buildings whispering stories from the past. Before the honking cars take over these massive roads, you can hop on to your saddle and rediscover Maximum City. Why do we insist? This tour costs Rs 500 lesser than their other bicylcle trails!

You've seen them on posters, Hollywood films and inside coffee-table books. But what happens when you come face-to-face with these jaw-dropping beauties and bad boys? The Kotak Autocar Performance Show is back, this weekend. The testosterone-filled show includes the presence of Lamborghini Gallardo and Rolls Royce Ghost. Get behind the wheels of a Mahindra SUV or meet Power Doctors who will teach you how to get that extra burst of acceleration out of your machine. There are lots of boy toys to drool over as well.
