For many, the bicycle is an expensive toy...a lifestyle choice. For Bharati, the bicycle is much more. It is a means to an education..a means to a better future...a tool to achieve what women in her mother's generation could not. Bharati wants to change her world...with a little help from her own two wheels. |
