Right outside the Western Railway headquarters, across Churchgate station is a new installation of a tiny station. At least 20 bicycles are parked here on the kerbside of the wide footpath. The green boards announce the collaboration of BMC and Shark Tank-featured cycle-renting company MYBYK, followed by clear guidelines on how to rent these cycles. We test this inviting initiation at 10 am on a Monday morning. After covering a distance of over 3 km — from the hub at Churchgate, past MG Road, and into the busy stretch of Colaba — we finally decide to park our cycle at the next station, at a spot on Apollo Bunder between Gateway of India and Radio Club. We discover that even though it is the need of the hour, it may not always work for a time-crunched, fashion-forward city.
