Imported bikes are too expensive. Can't afford them.

Yeah indian bikes are cheap. My bike cost me less than 100 dollars! And they are not bad. But the frames are heavy and they use basic Shimano transmission.

At Edinburgh the past 2 weeks trying to get down Princes' Street could be classed as an extreme sport. Why do all the freaks from the 4 corners of the world converge on Edinburgh for the Festival!?

Of course Ayush! mountain biking on ungeared bikes would be nothing short of a nightmare. Especially the climbing part.
