Taking to a news daily about his love for cycling, Salman said, "Cycling gives me a kick. Anything that increases momentum is a high, besides which it's a damn good form of cardio and the best way to prevent pollution. Everybody in the city can afford a cycle. Go on, get one, it keeps you fit, and in Mumbai's peak hour traffic — you reach your destination faster. When I travel by car, I'm on the phone, but when I cycle to a shoot, I get my workout done on the journey, and my evening is free."
Interestingly, Salman is a huge cycling aficionado, who often loves peddling his ways to movie shoots. Salman adds, "It takes me around 54 minutes, which is less than a cardio workout. And I cycle like the postman or a doodhwal, slowly, I don't bhagao the bike."
For starters, he advices that, "The first three-four days, your butt will be sore, but that's like in any other exercise. Don't give up."
For Salman, cycling is the best exercise that helps in retaining youth as he adds, "People past their youth, get it back once they get onto a bike. For anything in life, if you have the enthusiasm and interest, there's no way old age will get you. In the future, if all that I have is gone, the cycle will still be there... so it's best that I get used to it."
