It took forever to get out of Kolkata….I thought I was when going through the wide avenues in the generically ugly new Kolkata of IT parks and drab modern office monstrosities- probably desirable for cyclists- but no, it went on to traffic chaos near the airport.
That continued for the next 50 kms. or so on the most hideously dangerous road I think I have ever been on. Just 2 lanes on what seemed like a never ending town with every sort of vehicle driving with aggression and impatience. And this is a national highway? This is not a road for the faint of heart.
