Hi!
I'm Shree Kumar, just Shree to my friends. I am a software engineer by profession, and an engineer by disposition.
I enjoy programming(especially 3D graphics), riding cycles, photography, and playing-the-chef (in that order). My other hobbies include trekking, zipping around on my motorbike, playing computer games(long time since I played one!), making noises on the harmonica (I'm a member of The Harmonica Club, Bangalore) and keyboard, and calligraphy. Of late, I've been indulging in inline skating as well. Now, if all that seems a lot to you, then be warned : I'm always looking at diversifying further !
Look out for links to my long rides on the right hand side of this blog. Most of the content on this website is devoted to my most visible hobby, riding cycles. I expect that to change someday.
I'm also the author of the Parallel Compositing Library, and more recently VizStack (yes, these are part of my day job
)
Feel free to browse around & enjoy!

A request: If you have a general cycling question, I'd recommend you post it in a cycling forum like BikesZone Cycling Forum. The benefit of posting in a forum is that you get to see multiple perspectives(including mine in many cases), plus it reduces some work for me. Some sample general cycling questions are "which cycle should I buy ? who ride around ? can I join too ?"... Remember to look around in the forums before posting !

hello shree, this is mayank . i also share same hobbies and one thing is common among us that is diversity. why don’t you promote your blog by banner sharing . along with my team i am leading a lot of projects in many fields and nearly each one is connected to web in some form.
i have a proposal to share a banner or get associate your blog with my website http://www.pratidhvani.com . this will help both parties as it will definitely increase the web traffic routing.

@Wayne : Good to hear from you after a long time ! Looks like emails to your id bounce back. Trying again just to be sure !
@mayank: One thing you’ll notice about this site is the absence of a blog-roll. That’s mostly because I don’t read many blogs, and not regularly. I’ll add this in time. I’m not really looking to overtly publicize my blog at this time.

Hi Shree,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog and truly inspired by your adventures. I stumbled across your blog while I was researching touring bikes. I’ve been riding an MTB for 6 months now and wanted to take up touring. I’m planning to do some touring in the early part of this year and wanted to know if it is okay to contact you directly.

Hey Shree, I am about to buy a bicycle today after 10 years not having driven a 2-wheeler and was just doing some research. Came through your blog and loved it. And then when I visited Rediff, Voila! You were there as well.
Don’t know if you realize or not, you are being an inspiration for many. Keep going mate!
