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.

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.

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.

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.

Last time I cycle using my sister's mountain bike, took very long to get home. Because it is heavy(cap ayam mmg murah haha) and tyre so wide so too much grip on the road.

Second hand is quite good too. May I know your route or the place you are going to cycle? Traffic how?

It was a fluke haha!

TRUE! But I'm just making sure I got all the safety helmets and light on. Apa nak jadi jadi lah after that.
