A pile of stuck up

Every year more and more car come to clogg the busy urban streets. It just increase exponentially as more people could afford engnized transportation. However the efficiency of transporting people from home to work and vice versa isn't improve nowadays as more and more people drive than walk or cycling. As for comparison when i drive my car back home from work it took me almost 25 minutes to reach almost equally to the speed of riding my own bicycle from work which also took me exactly 25 minutes too. Stuck in the traffic inside my own car is just sparking my rage, temper and also waste of fuel and money. As compare to cycling it just give much enjoyment passing through traffic flow like water and laugh my way home plus i got my health and heart improve via simple excercise. Nowdays i view owning a car is just buying trouble rather than happiness. Get a car stuck in a jam and there goes hot boiling pot on your head. I drive car because of unpredictable weather and insufficient facilities to park my bike.

If i were a rich man i wouldn't buy a car, i'll just buy myself light weight bike, comfy gears and good food to fuel up my tummy for the ride. If anyone gives me a Ferrari i'll trade it immediately to save all the troubles on the road. Talk about road tax, insurance and fuel ouch! I wish the world oil wells drains rock bottom and people going electric bike.

Get away, get away

Its great to be out in the wild again, just zooming around the trees, bushes and paddle way above the sea level above all people looking into the horizon see green soft carpet of forests as the wind blows over me, i felt renewed in me. Every weekend i just escaped myself from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Sometime i was pondering myself that everyday i began to hate life in the urban, i need a gateaway ticket to spend my days touring around the world on my bike visit interesting and wonderfull places before kicking the bucket.

Ride under the moon.

The best thing having an extreme dry spell during the day especially this dry season is that at night the clouds will be very clear, cold and brightly lit moon as if its crashing close to earth. Me an my buddies cycle along the partially scorched grass land with our lights turned off allowing the rays of moonlight to take over and shines our path. It was totaly almost blue luminance around us and really breath taking scenery as the cold wind pass by behind us pushing us forward ease our pedaling. As we cycle away from urban night lights we are flooded with blue darkness but its was too beautiful to ignore such rare occasion to see what forest nature looks like under the brightly cloudless moon. All the grasses and tree leaf tuned bright blue with a bit sparkle on its surface. The we ride up the hill to see the entire horizon of field below us. Wow, its like blue carpet of sea.

Cycling in different perspective

The sun is above of as we ride out into unexplored Urban forest. We got bored riding on the same route everyday so we decided to go totally diferent places for the sake of thrills. Since i rarely cycle at noon where the sky is high and the sunlight are every bright the environment around us looks very much different and livelier than nearly evening time. Probably the bright ambient lights shines out the contast color of pure environment color. The sea looks very dark blue, the bubble wave very white, pine trees very dark green and fresh lush of grass very green and sthe sky is true blue: colors like screenshots taken from annual calendar photo. Very vivid and bright. We cycle pass with breezy wind cool us down and we speeding down the unexplored trails feeling more adventurous and lucky to be out there to explore the beauty behind our back yard. Luck we didn't get any sunburn.

Moonless ride!


Evening looks gloomy but that doesn't stop us enjoying our evening mountain bike ride into urban city. The wind blew strong, after few miles we stroll with our bike around the city we decided to have a break near by cosy restaurant and have our dinner outside in the open. Cold wind and sounds of bustling busy people around us provide cheering scene and feel like we're on tour in foreign places. BBQ lamb chop rice, Wantan soup, fried black pepper beef kolo me and carbonate drinks keep us full for the day. The rain drizzle so we decided to stick around chatting about our good old time taking our past adventure on bikes.

Enter the urban jungle

Not far away from my house we rode inside the urban jungle which hidden and unknown by the public. Located not far away from the place we parked our car at Miri City public park, the dense partially exotic like jungle was very hilly thus challenge our mind as it felt very spooky and mixed auro through its surrounding. passing though open field of grass, dense bushes, steep rock climb, down slippery switch back corners, passing through haunted like houses and up again out into the urban world. Me how every don't even felt tired at all but excited because the trails are highly technical, full of obstacles and heavily arouse me to get over it and pump up the adrenaline. Bt the time i get back home once again the tire slowly spew some air out. Its either my weight or something hit it along the way. Must be the tire...$$$$ no no no.
