Few days back Thala Ajith had a ride on OMR in his sneaky new BMW bike S100RR.Excited fans watched him whiz past them in his grandiose bike.He was wearing sports attire, a red and white sports wear. He occasionally stopped by tea shops too and took photos with his fans.

Awareness ride
                                   The reason behind Ajith's drive seems to be to create awareness among bike riders to wear helmets . The reason commuters avoid helmets is that either it is expensive or it is uncomfortable in the hot weather.But it is better to sweat than  to bleed, Ajith says. He even quotes the cost of MRI scans required in case of accidents highlighting the importance of wearing helmets.

Message to commuters

             Ajith advises all bikers to wear helmets and consider safety first.Life is too precious to be lost on the road he quips.His grandiose ride with sports helmet on, is in itself was a message to the commuters stressing the importance of wearing helmets on road.Old mahabalipuram road is quite known for road accidents and Ajith seems to have struck the right chord at the right time.

 
Passion for biking

                                  Ajith has a passion for riding bikes and cars since his younger days ,which is well known.He often takes road trips with his friends in his bike despite his busy schedule and enjoys it .


Sure his passion was a feast for all OMR riders who saw him on this day!

Bus stops @ OMR

                                        OMR is almost a straight highway, taking a bus ride can be smooth except at few junctions like Tidel park and Shollinganallur.Though MTC offers nearly 400 trips a day, buses are often crowded.The hot sun adds to the uneasiness.There are a few AC buses though mostly taken by IT professionals working in software companies situated along the IT corridor.                                         To take these bus rides, commuters have to wait at bus stops situated along the road.There are 23 major bus stops as of now and two routes , one from Adyar to Kelambakkam and the other from Velachery to Kelambakkam.Both these routes meet at SRP tools.
