What do thing about this shoe? Was thinking to replace my old skool bata school shoes  icon_idea.gif

Somewhat the current production of the shoes dont last as long as my previous ones which lasted me for 7 years as it goes tru all kind of shit. Still wearable but its more like walking on ice rink  drool.gif

Khairani said: “We at Prasarana are all for efforts to promote programmes to encourage to have less cars in the city and reduce carbon emission; hence minimizing air pollution. One way is by encouraging more people in the city to cycle and use our LRT to commute,” said Khairani, adding that folding bikes are permitted to board the LRT. The current ruling, however, only allows owners of folding bikes to use the LRT outside the peak hours; from 9am to 4pm on working days; and after 7.30pm onwards.

“The ruling is in the interest of the other commuters during the peak hours when the trains are packed. The sharp ends of the bike parts can cause injury to the other commuters in case the train makes emergency stops. We also don’t want the dirt on the tyres to smear on our other passengers. That’s why we have implemented the rules,” Khairani said, normal bicycles can be parked at the LRT stations at the bicycle racks.

Not bad, can feel stiffness when climbing up "the hill" near my place of stay. Knee problem sorted by adjusting my knee position when riding, saved me AUD200/300 in "bike fitting" thumbup.gif

Cant wait to try the 4mm longer axle Dura ace pedal which hopefully will help me in my odd foot position.

Wire i am really keen on the floro colour. Looks thumbup.gif and it will be visible to motorist as i tend to ride early in the morning thumbup.gif

Sidi wire in aussie online shop current retail at AUD390 with 10% gst included. Dunno consider cheap if compared to kl blink.gif

Buying a bicycle for commuting to LRT station daily, any bicycle will do as long as it is within your budget, especially if you are going to park it at your own risk. You need a sturdy lock and big chain to secured it from getting stolen. Still, there are chances that your baby will not be waiting for you when you come to fletch her on your return.
We will never leave our bike unattended to, not even for a second esp. the expansive ones, as many will testify to it that it will dent our pockets.

Our residential sifu here may recommends something for you. Cheers! biggrin.gif

oh... good start...

when u back KL, remember helps me carry few kg of Chia Seed as return! haha...

u can consider start consume super food Chia Seed, see any improvement or not...
ouch.
still reading the benefits of chia seed .. how do you usually consume it ?? in a shake ??

Didn't ride the bike for two days and did some minor adjustments to the seat position. This morning rode it around 5km to the train station and it doesn't hurt as much as before even with just normal slacks. Will have to try a longer ride this weeekend and see how it goes. Hope my bike is still there when I get back home from work nod.gif

Was funny riding bike with office attire and shoe but the 14-16 deg in the morning certainly helped and didn't really sweat much coz was taking it easy. Tried spinning more than mashing and can notice the difference despite it only being a short ride. Will definitely need to work on finding my cadence and maintaining it, eventually trying to increase it over time. rclxm9.gif

If you are my size 40.5, then can let you try my Sidi E2 for comfort and performance, let you fall in love it la. But really! We are fren fern ma and can get free review from you some more.
And if you like it, try to poison you, brows.gif take it off me please but on condition I that i can lay my hands on a pair Sidi Wire with twin cabling system. No more those flipping velcro strap.

But now is all talk only, unless your foot can do a contortion act. Anyway, I like Sidi for it looks, a slim last, practicality of the cabling system and carbon lite performance. rclxms.gif
To cap it off, I am rather fortunate to go Carbon straight away and there is no turning back now.tongue.gif tks to our unker- top salesman.

makes sense... you don't want to see some youtube videos about a cyclist brawling with an 80 year old lady because the cyclist got some chain lube on her LV bag right?
