Just had my first bike ride with my Merida Race Lite 900. The problem was, I cant cycle awesomely cuz when i go out of my house area, its the highway. Which is frigging ass scary with super fast car overtaking me. Any help on what i should do? My only choice is to cycle super early in the morning. Which interupts my sleep sad.gif

Scary right? I was on clipless shoes somemore, lol. When approaching roundabout, what I was thinking was only to unclip my shoes and cars around you at 6pm are never the friendliest to cyclists.

I was only riding around Kota Kemuning, just to get used to the feeling of the gear shifting, bike feel as well as the unclipping part of my shoes.

Had a decent pace with miCoach, for the first time:

Avg speed: 21kph
Distance: 16km
Time: 45 mins

not forgetting the time taken to pick myself up. Fell down from the bike after attempting to unclip my left foot. Now brake lever and handlebar wrap scratched and koyak-ed. cry.gif luckily I did not get the 105 or Ultegra tongue.gif

However, the feeling was thumbup.gif

Need to push myself and train myself further before the OCBC cycling event next year.

Aim to avg around: 25kph

You bought those spec? Veli useful and must have. Now you can confidently eyeing some chicks with confident without being notice.. liao. But bad for health if you loose your concentration on unclipping your shoe. Good luck with your progress.

actually, last month i mistakenly read the poster as 30/10/12. so i took the day off, went there until the gate. the guard was very confused when i asked about the sale. and i was very confused too because nobody was there. just not worth going there again..... boss, do i get any staff price privilege?
