In the bustling metropolis of Bengaluru, traffic woes have long been a hot topic of discussion on social media platforms. Every day, commuters face new hurdles and obstacles that lead to significant delays, prompting them to share their experiences through images and memes that highlight the city’s notorious traffic situation.

Recently, a local resident, Kawal Oberoi, embarked on a Rapido bike ride in an attempt to navigate the city’s notorious traffic congestion. However, his ordinary commute took an unexpected turn when his smartwatch became utterly perplexed by the situation.

As Oberoi grappled with the excruciatingly slow pace of traffic, he noticed something amusing on his smartwatch. Despite being stuck, the “smart” gadget erroneously registered his movement as cycling due to the snail-like speed at which he was progressing.

Eager to share this amusing episode, Oberoi swiftly captured a screenshot of his smartwatch’s confusion and took to social media to post it. His caption playfully highlighted the puzzling nature of Bengaluru’s traffic, stating, “How dire is the Bangalore traffic? Well, I opted for a Rapido bike ride, and my watch mistook it for cycling.”
