Enjoy riding bicycles? Did you know the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has come up with a specific standard for helmets for cyclists, skate boarders and roller skaters — for the first time, and it is coded “IS 18808”.

I hope bicycle and related infrastructure along with public transport gains traction instead of cars.
