During my recent cycling race participation in India, I discovered several amazing local products that enhanced my cycling experience. The first product that impressed me was the traditional Indian cycling jersey made from khadi fabric. This hand-spun, hand-woven natural fiber cloth provided excellent ventilation and comfort during the hot race conditions.
Another remarkable local product was the Ayurvedic energy supplements made from natural Indian herbs like ashwagandha and shilajit. These supplements helped maintain my stamina throughout the challenging race routes through the Western Ghats. The organic dates and nuts from local farms served as perfect cycling nutrition, providing sustained energy without artificial additives.
I also appreciated the handcrafted leather cycling gloves from local artisans in Kolhapur, which offered superior grip and durability. The bamboo water bottles from Northeast India were another eco-friendly discovery, keeping my water cool naturally during the race. These indigenous products not only supported local communities but also added an authentic Indian flavor to my cycling adventure. |
