Cyclists Shiver Under Open Night Sky in Jaipur as Fear of Theft Looms Large

National cyclists opt to sleep in cold instead of staying in hotel. They say that their equipment might get stolen. Cycling Association President S Periwal on reports of lack of facilities said, "Cyclists were provided accommodation in hotels. Their cycles cost between Rs 5-9 lakh. Hotels don't allow cycles and cyclists don't want to leave cycles anywhere. Therefore, they prefer to stay in rooms near velodrome."
