Final batch of Thomas and Friends refs for now

Frankie Clarke

Age: 33

Height: 174 cm

James "Hurricane" Stratford

Age: 30

Height: 189 cm

Subordinates of D10 who run a base of operation on the Mainland covered as the local steelworks. The couple is loyal to D10 to no end but they are often seen complaining about their amount of work, how understaffed they are and wish to have some days-off from time to time.

They try to lure innocent people in to get some free labor with Frankie's way with words and Hurricane's muscle. They often do their victims a favour to make them indepted to them. Frankie as the steelworks manager, treats the workers they forced in very poorly as they have to work for hours on end and are trapped at the base and never left out. The workers get severly punished when they displease the duo, earning the two the names "Frankie the Slavedriver" and "Hurricane the Brute". Their misdeeds were put to an end when they decided to bring in a young boy in blue...

Ashima Desai

Age: 16

Height: 164 cm

A young girl that arrived on Sodor from India to go to the Mainland for a big event, her parents were invited to. She ran into Thomas by accident and they did not get along well at the start despite Ashima's attempts to be nice. However, they managed to open up to each other over time, especially gaining his interest because she heard about a legend about a ghostly woman with a golden aura, suspecting it might be about Lady.

Ashima is polite, modest, generous and very confident in herself as she can sense when someone is being rude to her and knows how to handle a situation like this like with her first encounters with Thomas. She has the firm believe that nobody has to chance who they are at the core and that fully embracing who you are will bring you true happiness. After the event and she and Thomas and his friends got into all sorts of incidents, Ashima headed back to India but she and Thomas promised to stay in contact regardless.

Mallard Gresley

Age: 49

Height: 200 cm

The oldest son of the Gresley branch family closest to the main family and Spencer's older brother. Mallard is prideful, arrogant and pompous like most Gresleys but he's more secluded than others and only cares about his own business, seeing no need to participate in their family drama as a very successful position was already guaranteed to him from birth. Because of that, he holds no jealousy against the main family with how content he is with what he has, despite the knowledge that he would inherit everything from the main family in the case it would disappear.

Mallard is so introverted and distant that he can mostly only be seen on big events and nowhere else. He and Scott decided to be on good terms for the sake of avoiding trouble neither of them wants. Despite being siblings, Mallard wants nothing to do with his brothers and sisters aside from business, especially with Spencer, who he views as nothing but a nuiscance with his pettiness and reckless behaviour.

Ace Canley

Age: 18

Height: 182 cm

A newbie ralley car racer from Australia, who goes around the world for events. Ace is carefree, impulsive, stubborn and tents to never consider the feelings of others, dragging others into his reckless actions against their will. Oblivious to it, he is also very manipulative and convinces people with pressure. He can also be lazy like when he made Thomas, the younger and smaller one, push his car up a hill when they got stuck in Africa.

His parents were archeologists, who worked with the Billington's and disappeared alongside them. When he learnt about Thomas 10 years later, he used his world tour as an opportunity to get to meet him and bond over their shared fates. He wanted to convince Thomas to accompany him on his tour mostly for fun and Thomas disagreed at first as this was a bit too much to ask for and he did not like Ace at all, even Lady told him to stay away from him. But when Ace brought up they could find clues about their parents' disappearance, Thomas reluctently agreed. Unlike with Percy, Rosie, Philip and Ashima, Thomas never warmed up to Ace and the feeling that he is a bad to have around never left him for a good reason.

[mariailoveyou-guerin]

Love how this world thing is going it’s the way they did with QC leads Corey and India! First season didn’t have pre show press bc no one knew about the show and in s2 ofc they couldn’t do what they did with Corey India or Nicola Luke because firstly covid was in the way but also in sense of trying to do couple PR stuff as no one was ever gonna believe the gay man with a boyfriend was in love with straight woman costar dating a literal millionaire son where she’s living out a whole fantasy romance and trope herself dating F1 racer or whatever he does at F1 shows! So happy for Simone living that life btw it’s straight out of romance novel and movie!

I think they’ll do the same with Luke T and Sophie too and all the other B couples coming forward it started with qc leads Corey and India and now it’s Nicola Luke turn now then it’ll be Luke next with his Sophie and then it’ll be Fran and both men hee character marries!

Love Simone and Jonny genuine friendship platonic soulmatism thought same about India and Corey too

Love In The Circuit (Lewis Hamilton x Indian!Fem!Reader)

Lewis Hamilton had always been drawn to the sport of Formula One racing, with its high speeds and intense competition. But it wasn't until he met y/n that he truly understood what it meant to love racing. Y/n was a young woman from India who had always dreamed of competing in Formula One. But in a country where racing was still considered a man's sport, she knew she would never be accepted as a female driver. So, she made a bold decision - she would disguise herself as a boy and compete in the F1 circuit under a false identity.

Lewis had heard rumors of a new driver on the circuit who was shrouded in mystery. Some said he was a prodigy, while others claimed he was a fraud. But when he saw y/n for the first time, he knew there was something special about her.

Despite her disguise, Lewis could sense that y/n was different from the other drivers on the circuit. She had a fierce determination and an unwavering passion for racing that was evident in everything she did. And as he watched her compete, he found himself falling deeper and deeper in love with her. It wasn't until the final race of the season that Lewis finally learned the truth about y/n. She had been unmasked as a woman, and many in the racing world were furious. But Lewis knew that y/n was more than just a driver - she was a symbol of hope for all those who had been told they couldn't follow their dreams.

After the race, Lewis sought out y/n and told her how he felt. To his surprise, she felt the same way. And together, they vowed to continue racing - not just for themselves, but for all those who had been told they couldn't. As they stood on the podium, holding

their trophies high, Lewis and y/n couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph. They had defied the odds and proven that gender didn't matter when it came to talent and passion for racing.

After the race, Lewis and y/n spent a few weeks traveling together, exploring new destinations and enjoying their newfound love. They talked about their hopes and dreams for the future, both on and off the track.

Y/n knew that she had a responsibility to inspire other young women to follow their dreams, just as she had done. And with Lewis by her side, she felt like anything was possible.

As they returned to the racing circuit, they faced new challenges and obstacles. Some of the other drivers were still resentful of y/n deception, and they made it clear that they didn't think a woman had a place in F1.

But Lewis and y/n were undeterred. They continued to race with all their might, pushing themselves to new limits and proving their detractors wrong time and time again.

As the years went by, Lewis and y/n became a fixture on the F1 circuit. They were respected and admired by fans and fellow racers alike, and they continued to inspire a new generation of young drivers, both male and female.

In the end, it wasn't just about winning races or setting records. It was about the passion and love they had for the sport, and the belief that anything was possible with hard work and determination. And as long as they had each other, they knew they could conquer anything that came their way.

yours drivingly,

admins sav n san

[superstar49]

Hi, sorry for the late response but I wanted to make sure I had some things for you to read along with what I'm about to say. I would say mine is a bit more objective than the links I'll be posting, so do keep this in mind. These thoughts also will connect with each other in some sort of way.

Racism/Francophobia

As funny as that sounds, francophobia is a real thing apparently in the F1 community. It's littered around all sorts of different platforms of people hating on him because he's french. Joke or not, their hate for him is real and they play it off by making fun of his ethnicity which is not okay. We also see people calling "baguette" (which I do acknowledge they use on both him and pierre) which is also just weird. I think it's important to acknowledge how these jokes are not okay to say, and their harmful. People seem to hate the French, and Esteban gets the short end of the stick compared to the likes of Pierre--- something I'll talk about later.

You also are right about him being of Spanish descent with his paternal side coming from Malaga, but he's also part Algerian (hence the Ocon-Khelfane) on his maternal side. Algeria is in Northern Africa, and there does seem to be a bit of racism involved. It rubs me off the wrong way when they call his face "punchable" or "rat like" seeing as his face has many features present in Algerians. I personally find Esteban attractive, but I see that he's often voted as one of the "uglier drivers" which seems to be a reason why he's not as well liked. I think if he were more conventionally attractive he would have a lot more fans, thus more support.

Classism

I wouldn't say that Esteban grew up in poverty or even poor--- in fact, I would even say he grew up middle class--- but he definitely wasn't rich. His father was a mechanic who owned a garage that he would later sell along with their house to fund Esteban's career. They would live in a caravan after this. His mom would also sell snacks at karting tracks to earn more money. Another point that I'd like to bring up is that he would buy Pierre's used chassis because he simply couldn't afford his own, though of course this was still when they were friends.

I say that he's hated because of classism because he can't afford to not fight. His family basically gave up everything for the chance of him getting into F1 and I think that reflects on his driving style. I think that this is more on F1 as a sport than on fans though. F1 is notoriously known as the 'rich boys sport' and Esteban is not included in this.

Teammates

I could talk about this more, but I'll keep it simple. I think this is the most important one because one of the biggest reasons people hate on Esteban is because he "is a bad teammate", and I think that is simply ignorant of people to say. I'm going to only bring up Fernando and Checo in this as they seem to be the major ones.

Checo

He was teammates with Checo from 2017 to 2018 in Force India, 2017 being his first full year in F1. He would lose out to Checo in his 2017 but then a year later beat him with a 9 to 5 win to loss rate. He would also go on to have many notable crashes with Perez, with most of them having Esteban at fault. Except this isn't exactly true. In races such as Hungary and Spa both of those incidents were Checo at fault, yet people refuse to acknowledge this. Checo is also a notoriously aggressive driver (not to max now though).

Fernando

I would say that they both were just hard racers. I think that both of them drove dirty with one another, but Esteban always gets the blame.

Most of his teammates and people he's fought with have also been very popular which I'll talk about next.

Toxic fucking fans

I might catch some slack for this one, but it's true. His teammates (Daniel, Fernando, Pierre, Checo) have all been more popular than him making him less popular than all but one of his teammates (Pascal Wehrlein who he "raced" with in 2016). Checo obviously has a bunch of Latin American fans and Fernando Spanish ones, and they go hard for their drivers. Some of Max's fans are also insane, but I won't go into that one.

Esteban fighting and racing peoples faves push their buttons and they'll send truck loads of hate towards Esteban that other people see and internalize it and spread more hate to him.

Social Media

I think its just so generally accepted that Esteban is a bad driver (which makes people think he's also a bad person) that it makes more people also hate him. These posts from toxic fans of other drivers that Esteban has "beefed" with give a often wrong or at least very negative view on Esteban that a lot of people will latch onto. I think it's more of a snowball effect than anything. There's a very good quote from reddit that I can't find but it goes along the lines of, "F1 fans love his racing style, but not the driver." and I think it sums a lot of things up very well. They say they like hard racing but hate Esteban when ever he does it (may be a hot take, but I don't think he's bad at wheel to wheel racing).

Pierre

I think this is a topic I could spend a lot of time on, but I'll just give you the basics of my view on this loaded topic. I see Pierre as being more well liked because of his connections with Charles who is obviously a fan favorite and because of his girlfriend Kika and that makes every single complaint about Esteban basically fuel to the Esteban hate train. Pierre and Esteban are constantly fighting, and since both are not very well popular people would rather side with someone their fave likes than the other person. I think people also often forget the times where Pierre has been a horrible teammate as well, like in Australia.

Not being well known

He's not as big on social media ( I heavily agree with you on your point that he definitely needs a new PR manager ) and that's where it really hurts him. He doesn't have as many fans that will back him up and defend him on things which makes him a easier target to hate on. It really disturbs me on how people will laugh at Pierre saying "Ciao" to Esteban after passing him in Austria and how they'll send him death threats after Monaco. I think you bring up a good point of you not knowing him well as it rings true for many F1 fans. He's in a back marker team who's consistently getting shitted on so who would like him? I think if say Max or Charles tried what he does they wouldn't get nearly half the shit he does. In fact, I think they'd even get praised for it. I also will say again that I believes he's also a rather good driver which doesn't seem to get enough recognition.

To finish off this long rant that I honestly strayed from in certain spots, I'd like to say that Esteban is unfairly hated. This of course is all subjective and some of my points don't apply to everyone, but I think this is a pretty good basis on my stance. I do want to put out there that I do agree with the fact that he does actually have to listen to team order and that he does do some stupid shit sometimes though!

https://www.reddit.com/r/EstebanOcon31/comments/ua2wu3/why_do_people_not_like_ocon/

Really good summary of reasons on why he's hated. If you dont want to read any other of links, READ THIS ONE!!! Very informative albeit long response from HONcircle.

https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/sc7b6r/the_curious_tale_of_esteban_ocon/

pretty solid summary of his time in F1 and is rather interesting.

https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1d36oz9/why_ocons_not_a_team_player_reputation_exists_and/

This is some people's thoughts on why he isnt a team player, though keep in mind that some of these are very negative.

goes more into the whole Checo situation and their time together as Teammates. Someone provides a good outline on some of their crashes and provides video evidence as well!

i’ll let this one pretty much speak for itself and people can take away from it whatever they want. i definitely think you brought up some interesting points, and i’ll absolutely be checking out those links, but i feel there’s not much for me to say in response. thank you for elabourating on your previous ask and educating me about him! i’m always learning more every day so this was a good read.

send me your f1 hot takes

[planeoftheeclectic]

I'd love to know more about "palutena trap (kid icarus meets the parent trap)"

Ok so I just answered an ask about this with a bit about the inspiration and approach I'm taking to this fic so this one I'm going to list some of my favorite plot points in no particular order:

This is a "modern au" so everyone has normal jobs, such as:

Investigative journalist who lives on a houseboat

Mob boss

Lead singer for a punk band which is actually a front for an eco-terrorist group

Karate sensei

Drag racer

Ex-MI6 butler

California surfer bro

Dark Pit, given the option refers to himself exclusively as "The Dark Falcon of Vengeance" or similar because I couldn't stretch my suspension of disbelief enough to call him Dark or to give him a different name entirely (much as I love @stonemaskedtaliesin's Pip, it just doesn't fit in the context I'm going with)

Dark Pit's actual name in this is Pit Pairisetti, and Pit's name is Pit Pasupati. Dark Pit's name is a more alliterative romanization of Bairisetty, a Telugu surname which means something like "falcon," which I thought was appropriate. Pasupati is a Hindi surname which was mostly picked because I liked the way it sounded and wanted both of their surnames to start with the same letter, giving the camp counselors an excuse to call them Dark Pit and Light Pit instead of just using their last initials.

Pit is going to mostly accidentally steal a team of horses from Hades as part of an escape when he's doing something with the Forces of Nature as the analog to the canonical Lightning Chariot. It will be glorious.

There is a Sonic expy who will never appear on-screen who is Phosphora's greatest nemesis (and possibly ending scene implied love interest, depends on if I think of anything funnier)

The background ship is past Palutena/Medusa and I haven't yet decided how much reconciliation they will do. Less than in The Parent Trap, for sure, but maybe more than I originally planned.

Medusa and Dark Pit know all the sorry details about their breakup, but Palutena never explained it to Pit

Despite their incredible athletic skills, both Pits sink like a rock in water.

As you might have gathered from their names, I am making Palutena and Medusa Indian, specifically from Northern India and Southern India, respectively. This is mostly because I can and encouraged by the fact that there's a species of parakeets from India that have naturalized to Greece. I'm pretty sure they're the ones from the tumblr poem about unmannerly peas, which is one of my all time favorites, so even better.

They met in Hyderabad and decided to marry each other instead of waiting around for whatever arranged marriage their families had planned for them. This is also why neither of them can go home because they would literally rather die than hear their aunt sigh and go "this is why blah blah blah."

They won the houseboat from Poseidon in a poker game. Palutena played the cards, Medusa helped her cheat.

The divorce was really ugly. Like, dragged through all the tabloids levels of ugly. Pit doesn't know about it because all of his electronics have parental controls about that specifically. It ruined Medusa's PI firm, which is why she now works for the mob boss.

This is why Pit just knows about the bad things Medusa has done (there was a REASON the divorce was ugly and it was not all Palutena's fault) but Dark Pit knows about things that Palutena said about him, specifically.

The Pits spend some time at camp bonding in the counselors-only Jacuzzi, and possibly over a camp play. Can't decide how much Addams Family Values I want to throw in.

Hades has eaten human hearts before, but prefers Amazon River Dolphin. He says the stench of evil ruins the taste.

Despite all the plot I have planned out (this is going to be so much longer than TFP) I feel like I have so much less of it planned out than TFP (which, to be fair, is a murder mystery). It's always a big shift to jump from one to the other, and it's going to be even more of a shift once I finish TFP and start editing and posting in earnest, but I'm looking forward to trying a different style of editing when I get there!

More Headcanons!

I live!

- After everything he has been through (Jumping over canyons and bridges, nearly falling into molten slag, getting lost at sea, etc.), Thomas does not fear death. At this point, he half believes that Lady herself couldn’t drag him to the afterlife. And sometimes when he’s bragging about it too much, she’s half tempted to show him she could...

- Frankie 100% bullshitted her way out of trouble at the end of JBS. If she hadn’t seen an opportunity to get Thomas off her back and some actual willing help from the experimental engines, she would have quietly and reluctantly faced the consequences for her and Hurricane’s actions.

- Duchess is usually LMS maroon, but she was pulling a bit of a ‘Henry Sees Red’ during The Royal Engine. Between you and me, she has been considering asking for a new color. Maybe indigo?

- Remember Alice, the little girl from Thomas and the Birthday Mail? She grew up to be Rosie’s driver! I like to think she played a hand in Rosie deciding to switch to red.

- If you ever use Thomas’ firebox to cook food, you had better give him some. If you have the gall to use him as an oven and not share your bacon, he’ll make sure your food is burned for at least a month.

- Emily has a special interest in flowers and at any given time, she’ll drop the most disconcerting facts out of nowhere. James wishes he could go back to not knowing about corpse flowers.

- Emily knows party tricks! She can puff smoke rings and blow steam out of her mouth. Percy has been hounding her for lessons on how to do the former.

- Don’t ever say something is impossible or too hard for Emily to learn or she’ll brute force her way into learning it to prove you wrong. Honestly, she’s learned a lot from that method.

- Back when Rosie was pink, some rather rude enthusiasts had something to say about her choice in livery. To the surprise of many, it was the shy and quiet Molly who came to Rosie’s defense. In fact, she gave them such a thorough tongue lashing that they never came back!

- For all his bluster, Ace is an average racer at best. In fact, he was only in that worldwide rally because another racer couldn’t make it.

- By the end of Thomas’ time in India, Noor Jehan wasn’t too fond of the tank engine. In her defense, you can only screw up so many times before it stops seeming endearing and starts looking incompetent.

- While Rebecca is generally a nice and happy-go-lucky engine, she plays it up a bit to mask her own insecurities. Lately, Gordon and Nia have been trying to show her that she doesn’t need to.

- Having been built in Sweden, Ashima and the Culdee Fell engines but this isn’t about them knows some Swedish. But it’s been so long since she or her siblings spoke it that she doubts she can hold a conversation.

- Rosie didn’t receive the best welcome when she first arrived Sodor. By then, the big engines were thoroughly done with the Big Station’s revolving door of pilots, and planned on not getting attached to the latest one.

- James has a habit of stealing borrowing Daisy’s eyeliner, especially during special occasions. He does like to look his best after all.

i don’t even want to start thinking about how mick was treated badly by his team and eventually dropped, like esteban by force india in 2018/2019. how mick was also taken in the mercedes family, like esteban. how esteban probably told him it’ll be fine and work out for the best because look at him. how esteban assured mick that he’s a good racer and he’ll be fine…

1. Start Small: Accessories and Bolt-Ons

One of the easiest ways to customize your bike is by swapping out stock parts for affordable aftermarket options. Simple changes like new handlebars, grips, or mirrors can drastically alter your motorcycle’s look and feel. A sleek pair of bar-end mirrors or a set of stylish levers can add a personalized touch for minimal cost.

Other affordable upgrades include saddlebags, tank pads, and LED light kits. These not only enhance aesthetics but also improve functionality.

2. Paint and Decals: A Splash of Personality

A fresh coat of paint or some well-placed decals can make your motorcycle stand out without requiring extensive modifications. Choose vibrant colors or unique patterns to create a custom look that reflects your personality. If repainting the entire bike feels too expensive, consider accenting key areas like the tank, fenders, or rims.

Vinyl wraps are another cost-effective option, offering endless design possibilities and the flexibility to change your look as often as you like.

3. Custom Seats: Comfort Meets Style

Upgrading your motorcycle’s seat is an excellent way to enhance both comfort and appearance. Custom seats come in various materials, colors, and stitching patterns, allowing you to add a touch of luxury to your ride. Many options are available at reasonable prices, making this a worthwhile investment for long-term use.

4. Exhaust Upgrades: Performance and Sound

Replacing the exhaust system is a popular modification that can significantly change your bike’s sound and performance. While full exhaust systems can be pricey, slip-on mufflers offer a more budget-friendly alternative. They provide a noticeable improvement in sound and aesthetics without requiring major modifications.

5. Trust the Experts: TNT Motorcycles

When it comes to affordable customization without compromising on quality, TNT Motorcycles stands out as the best custom bike design builder in India. Known for their innovative designs and meticulous craftsmanship, TNT Motorcycles specializes in creating personalized builds that suit every budget.

Whether it’s a subtle makeover or a full-fledged transformation, TNT Motorcycles delivers exceptional results.

6. DIY Maintenance and Upgrades

For those who enjoy working on their bikes, learning basic maintenance and upgrade skills can save money. Tasks like installing new indicators, adjusting the suspension, or even swapping out footpegs can be done at home with the right tools and a little patience.

Conclusion

Customizing your motorcycle doesn’t have to be expensive. By focusing on small yet impactful changes, you can transform your ride into something unique and personal without overspending. And if you want professional expertise that offers exceptional value for money, TNT Motorcycles is the name to trust.

How to Select the Best Cycling Jersey Fabric

A cycling jersey is among the most important components of cycling gear, whether you are a casual weekend rider or an intense competitive racer. The most essential consideration in cycling jersey choice is the fabric, as it significantly affects your cycling experience, making it comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable. In this blog, we will guide you on how to choose the best fabric for your cycling jersey, whether you're hunting locally for a cycling jersey in Trivandrum or exploring options across cycling jersey India.

1. Breathability and Moisture Wicking

The texture of the cycling jersey is breathable, so you enjoy the comfort of being kept cool for long rides. When cycling, your body generates heat, and you start sweating. Fabrics like polyester and nylon are excellent at pulling away the moisture from the body and the sweat that eventually makes its way out pretty fast. This maintains your ideal body temperature, prevents chafing, and maintains dryness on your skin.

A moisture-wicking fabric is recommended for those seeking cycling jerseys in Trivandrum or India as this region is hot with high humidity. Polyester is the most preferred material for jerseys as it dries quickly, hence perfect for comfortable biking in hot climatic conditions.

2. Elasticity and Fit

For a jersey, it must be tight enough so that there is no flapping in the wind but not too tight to hamper movement. The fabric should have some flexibility and be form-fitting so as to cause minimal wind resistance and therefore maximize your aerodynamics. Fabrics with spandex or Lycra content often blended with polyester, offer just the right amount of stretch for a perfect fit.

If you are looking for a cycling jersey in Trivandrum or a cycling jersey in India you will come across many jerseys that implement a perfect blend of Lycra for flexibility making sure the jersey flexes with you while you ride, whether on smooth roads or on rugged ones.

3. UV Protection

Exposure to the sun during long periods of cycling means protecting your skin from ultraviolet rays with appropriate fabric. Some cycling jerseys come directly with UV protection because they are made of synthetic fibers. More generally, a higher denier the value of which measures fiber thickness-offer greater protection against UV radiation.

It is fairly important to select a jersey that provides UV protection, especially if you will be cycling in sunny areas, such as Trivandrum, or throughout India, where exposure could be heavy. Most local retailers selling cycling jerseys around India will have jerseys with UPF ratings so that you will be protected from damaging UV rays.

4. Temperature Regulation

Cycling jerseys should be capable of regulating the body's temperature, keeping it warm in chilly weather and cool in hot temperatures. Merino wool is an excellent example of a fabric that has good thermoregulating properties. While not as prevalent as synthetic materials, it can be a great fit for the cyclist who rides in changing climates.

If you are shopping for a cycling jersey in Trivandrum during the cooler months, or if you're choosing a versatile option across cycling jersey India, a wool blend might come in handy for insulation as well as for breathing.

5. Durability and Comfort

Jerseys or tops have to be very strong double because you are cycling over lumpy roads or for long hours. Fabrics like polyester and nylon last a little longer and could wear you less due to their resistance against wear and tear. It should feel soft against your skin, and it should not itch you while riding.

A jersey made from durable, smooth fabric such as polyester or nylon will be comfortable and long-lasting for a ride around Trivandrum or anywhere in India. Such a jersey will be highly satisfying for the novice as well as the seasoned cyclist.

6. Lightweight and Quick Drying

A cycling jersey must be light enough so that you can be comfortable as much as possible in long-distance rides. Polyester, nylon, and even blends of these materials ensure that your jersey is lightweight and quick-drying. That way, you will not get weighed down by moisture when riding.

This comes in handy very well in Trivandrum's humid climate, where you might want to have a cycling jersey that dries off quickly not being a nuisance during and after rides. The lighter and quick-drying fabrics are always excellent choices for cyclists in all the hot regions of India.

7. Style and Visibility

Finally, and most importantly perhaps, you look good on your bike. Vibrant reflective colors make your style far more visible, particularly in the evening or nighttime when riding. Reflective features are great for fabrics cyclists want to wear for safety purposes on the streets.

Whether in Trivandrum or elsewhere in India, make sure that you wear a jersey with high-visibility colors and reflective items for improved safety in early morning or evening rides.

Conclusion: 

Pick the Best Fabric for Your Cycling Needs

Not to forget, while choosing a cycling jersey, one should look out for breathability, moisture-wicking ability, UV protection, comfort levels of the fabric, along an added elasticity property. Be it Trivandrum or a cycling jersey in India, this would ensure that the very best for the desired cycling experience is extracted from the product.

And, don't forget to choose the right fabric for climatic conditions and needs, be it for summer rides or long-distance cycling. So, opt for materials that will keep you comfortable and protected while you enjoy your ride. Happy cycling!

Gomti Nagar, Uttar Pradesh: A Startling Incident: A Call for Safety and Justice

Recently, news of a very upsetting incident came from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, specifically Gomti Nagar. On a flooded road, a throng accosted a woman riding a scooter. She wasn't just the target of verbal abuse; every car that went by on that route joined in on the mayhem. When several males started splattering water on her motorcycle and dragging it from behind, things got rather serious. The woman lost her footing and went into the water, leaving her open to more abuse. The fact that the throng even went so far as to grope her is unsettling and emphasizes how serious this embarrassing episode was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTRfRRU2gaw&pp=ygUbbHVja25vdyBoYXJhc3NtZW50IGluY2lkZW50 After being made aware of this heinous incident, the police have begun investigating to find the perpetrators. In response to the incident, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh made it clear that such conduct would never be accepted. He said, "We will ensure justice is served, regardless of the perpetrators' backgrounds." Two people, Pawan Yadav and Muhammad Arbaaz, have previously been named by the authorities as suspects in this incident. The Chief Minister emphasized the government's commitment to women's protection by assuring the public that those involved would face quick justice akin to a bullet train. Many people are outraged by this episode and have criticized the Chief Minister's remarks regarding the names and religious affiliations of the suspects. Critics contend that the focus should be on holding all perpetrators accountable, regardless of their background, and that justice should be blind to caste, creed, or religion. The incident's proximity to both the Chief Minister's residence and the state capital serves to highlight how serious the situation is.

Both the general public and political analysts have expressed dissatisfaction with the administration's approach. They contend that such horrible deeds cannot be tolerated and that prompt, impartial action is required to stop them from happening again. One source of disagreement has been the government's emphasis on political concerns above the gravity of the crime. To sum up, the Gomti Nagar event serves as a sobering reminder of the continued difficulties facing women's safety in India. There is no doubt that the public expects the government to act fairly and quickly. It is imperative that justice is served, establishing a precedent that no one can avoid, regardless of who they are. To regain the public's trust and make sure that similar situationsdon't happen again, the state's leadership must put safety and justice ahead of political posturing.
