Guys, around how much does 1 bicycle cost now?

a normal one, not those with basket in front or those that can have ppl sit behind

no need fancy fancy moutain or racing one, a normal and okay looking with gears and so

how much ar?


besides, is 10km consider far ar? usually 10km will take how long?

You can get a decent bicycle for 200. Go check bicyclebuysell.com.

I cycle 10 km to work and 10 back. Not far at all after you have adjusted to the road and anticipated the traffic. Using a single gear bike for half a year now to work.

At my pace, 10 km = 20 minutes. Fastest I've been was 11 minutes. Smooth traffic, no stopping because all green light.

20minutes huh....guess it's okay

yes, thats my plan lol for cycling to work, and the distance is same as urs too..hehe.

for 20mins, it's normal pace or?

early this year im buy a Lerun almost RM400. satisfied.

hope ur office got shower...

yea, i plan to bath ... thats a must...hehe

Normal pace complete with siul2 and nyanyi2 when passing cars in traffic jam. But all flat terrain la in Miri. Last time in Shah Alam got bukit2 so a lil slower for the same distance.

dont take single speed you will regret
and make sure u take slick tyres
not much friction

i see...seems okay ehh...hmmm

yea, will definitely get those with few speed hehe

whats ur advice then? how many speed?

Depends on the route. Is it mostly flat or really hilly? If it's hilly, it'll be tougher and take longer.

If it's flat, and you're cycling on the road, I think 35km/h is reasonable if you are using a mountain bike.

10km = 20min? you driving? in london i cycle 5.6miles(9km) non-stop in the rain need +- 35min, are you a cycling athlete?

not entirely flat but not hilly too

20mins seems okay...hmmm

ppl can comfortably jog 1km in 6 mins. so 10 km can kautim in 1hr.

bike can go at least 3 times faster , so 20 mins seems reasonable enuff for 10km.

Haha no I'm not. I'm using single speed, therefore lighter bicycle, and have been cycling constantly for quite a time. I also need 30+ minutes in the rain you know. Slick road is bad for cyclist in the rain.

Oh TS, if you are a beginner, really take a bicycle with multiple speed. 9 speed is standard nowadays.

yes, am a absolute beginner lol

9 speed? seems will be very expansive, no? lol

mine was 21 speed, 3x7 gear. cycling in kl better be careful, somebody killed a mpsj cleaner last week at subang

am not at KL, hehe

I don't know the price now. And yeah kobe's is right about the speed calculation. Can look for whatever bikes you fancy. Here in case you forget.

there price there, so many 4 digits @@

sigh...
