Amid Coronavirus social distancing is the most important factor to avoid being affected by Coronavirus. An Indian mechanic developed a bike that maintains social distancing.
Partha Saha, 39, purchased an old bike from a scrap dealer, removed the engine and cut the machine in two before fastening a rod slightly longer than a meter (3.2 feet) to connect the wheels.
"Now I can ride with my eight-year-old daughter while maintaining a safe distance," he told AFP from Agartala in the northeastern state of Tripura.
Like other countries, the Indian government has inflicted a national lockdown and urged citizens to practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus.
As of Thursday, India had reported 33,050 cases of COVID-19, with 1,074 deaths.
When the nation prolonged its lockdown this month until at least May 3, Saha realized the battle against the virus might not be over any time soon.
