Life is just awesome!...going everyday on two wheels.

After years commuting on bicycles to work finally i think life was too perfect for me.  Feel younger, active and just kill 3 or more birds with one stone. Life is very lively.  I loose massive weight, my long pants getting extremely loose..very loose!, have time to enjoy radio control hobby/activity in between, save fuel and money, save traffic headache, save time because i can slip through traffic, had a good sleeping time, wake up late but stay fresh, have time to eat proper home made breakfast and my health is improving plus getting strong leg muscles.  Wow! all these because i'm skipping from drving my car to work and getting on my bicycle...this is so awesome!  Other than that it seems my often presence on local road have become part of familiar appearance among traffic user which is good for me so that they aware that i'm using the same road everyday too.   When the weather is all good with blue sky and white clouds its nice to tour around and enjoy the scenery..just plugin into my MP3 SONY WALKMAN and there goes enjoyment. Sunset always been so beautiful along the coastal area as i'm riding on my way home.  Sometimes if i get hungry i have lots of mobilty opportunity to wonder through several burger stalls, cafes and food stores without worry about parking space problem.  I can also go about wondering my own business without worry time and fuel. 

2 bike, doubles me

In the past i had dozen of bike for hardcore riding but lived individually before the next replacement,  this time i have a pair all at once which makes it doubles to up keep their mechanical health consume both budgets and time.  Fortunately both have different roles to serve me on land.  Thankfully their benefit outwieght their overall cost in area of health, leisure and transporation  as concerned.  My GIANT TRACE mtb seems to top everything both quality and performance at pro level while the MERIDA road bikes lacks top notch performance parts serve only for commuting and training.   This year expenses goes mostly on my road bike which need further tailoring and customization from ground up due to some flaw when i ride on it possiblity of un-ergonomic parts, gear shifts and pain on my hands.   Stock saddles almost killed my crotch which goes on for days  but after putting stake on new SEPCIALIZED saddle with ergo Gel + Body Geometry thingy for RM$280 finally no more painful crotch, its better than future injury or surgery like what Lance Armstrong went through.  Road clothings, shoes, acessories all needed to fit road biking needs all added up.

A-bike!

Saw this cool gadget few months ago at local bike shop but just recently after few convincing fact on youtube about A-BIKE i'm very dire to get one of these and put excitement between my feet. A-BIKE: portable, mniature, foldable, light and versatile bike for my daily commuting outside home. 5kg and fits inside back pack. This is my ultimate solution to my lazy walking days and ideal if i'm going all out for holidays on tour. To bad it was late to grab the last one on store. Wish i knew much earlier through internet. At least don't have to worry about leaving your bike outside unguarded since you can always bring out into the bus, train and into mall. Cool!

Bike in good hands

When it comes to professional bike maintenance and bike damage recovery theres only one man i look up to...its Mr. Syariff my very very old best mountain biking buddies whom weve been together riding for 15 years. All i can say his bike maintenance and fixing skills is second to none and can fix a dead bicycle out of nothing with minimal tools and resources. When he get it done its 100% the bike will be very much in fresh new condition and best top notch performance. It took him only a day to completely fix every corner of the bike to perfection which left me awe in amazement when i tried it late at night for a test drive. Wow! perform far better than a new bike! kudos! I'm proud to be his buddy.

Rain 48Hour!

Just when i was about to kick my day off riding my mountain bike the clouds in the sky seems to watch my move and spoil my mood. This week i'm not in the mood getting wet but i'm very much firey getting back on my bike and do some urban stunts and get my muscles all heated. January shouldn't have rainning. I blame the world heavy industrial for changes in the weather aka "Global Warming". It really changes the world climate drastically. Go ride bicycle people.

The exotics ride

Here some picture of exotics mountain bikes that cost you a hole in your bank account, mine's is the silver colored full suspension bike. But its worth riding. It took picture before we start to ride into the forest last Sunday. These are the most mean machine for big boys toys.

Our bike club exhibition in Bintang Plaza Miri City.

In went over to visit a nick's Bike Club exhibition and also promotion for upcoming local endurance challenge: "The BAKAM Challenge" endurance race coming this may. The exhibition held in Miri City inside BINTANG PLAZA building just outside PARKSON supermarket. Our members bike shown on the stage while customer products shown below. I didn't bring my bike after seeing how this visitor mingle around the bike parts with their hands fear it might scratch mine or worst damage some expensive parts. The ehibition held for 3 days from yesterday Friday till Sunday. I'll be hanging around a while every night if i have the time. Good luck Nick.

Thanks for the ride home.

Just like any day today i get back to my bike and cycle all the way to the office, it was fun way tio enjoy the jorney without having a roof or boxes around you on crowded road. My plan is to ride up to Canada Hills higher above city level this evening after work to take beautiful photo of sunset behind the sea from above view. Not for long....Being on bike is fun except today when i'm just about to cycle my way home i felt a bit mushy on the rear wheels. Pssssttt!!!....tire puncture! No problem can fix it in a jiffy, ilucky as usually i have spare tube and mini pump with me. 5 minutes later its all fix and ready to jump in for home. Just i was about to cycle within 10 meters the rear getting soft again...oh no, no my spare too! I quickly cycle back to the office before the air run out knowing something was really bad about the tyre or some small splinter still stuck in puncturing the new tubes. Lucky there was someone in the office, a friend of my staying back late for work. She saw my problem and offer me a ride home. At first i rejected as i already call my father to pick me, but since my sister says my dad went out for a jog so i decided to take her offer for a ride home in her white hatchback car. All the way we talk about photos and car stories and in few minutes i reach home near the via airport road.
I would like to thank Ms Annie for helping me a ride home with my punctured bike in her car. Else i would have walk miles from home. Thanks Annie.
