I woke up early one morning to go on a bike tour of Old Delhi with DelhiByCycle:
This dog apparently likes to greet bike tourists regularly! He had just pawed at my face for attention and was now politely sniffing for this photo op :-)
Riding a bike through Old Delhi's narrow alleys and larger streets was both exhilarating and slightly harrowing...dodging pedestrians, potholes, dogs/cows/donkeys/goats, other cyclists, rickshaws, cars and buses was a wonderful way to experience Delhi in another way!!
I'd forgotten to mention that because Delhi has more residents of Nepalese descent, I was often mistaken for Nepalese here and people didn't understand that I didn't understand Hindi...but they persisted in speaking to me in Hindi nonetheless! (The regular one-sided Hindi conversation happens regularly throughout India...you may look extremely puzzled and keep shrugging or shaking your head, but the "conversation" will continue for quite a while(!)).
