Surat docs ride bicycles over fuel price hike

As fuel prices skyrocket, a motley group of doctors in Surat has got together to circumvent the hike by forming a 'Bicycle Club'. The motto is not just 'burn rubber to stop burning a hole in your pocket'. They are hoping to spread the virtues of good health and encourage others to take to cycling. As a start, 50 members, including 25 doctors, will leave behind their gas-guzzling cars and cycle to work every day.
