Sorry to confuse you, and just to clarify my blunder and confirmed I'm a noob. I actually mixed up between pedal clip (strap) with shoe cleat. What you meant Clipless means just that, without the clips but cleats to adhere to the pedals.

Added on November 29, 2012, 11:05 pmHa ya.. been raining every evening,no chance to ride. Dun ask me to ride in the rain as I am made of paper, cat instinct! Need to do some night riding.
I already have a rear blinker but that is to dangerous for me facing the on coming traffic.
I am going to buy front lighting for this purpose. Bosses here, should there be any particular area of lighting gear to look out for and also to avoid.
Ek.... I am sticking out my arm to you sir... Jab aaway!

Just want to ask you guys opinion.

Should i cycle back home from my university ?

I live in Ampang and my university is at Bangsar.

Should i or should not ?

What do you guys think?

Btw, just a heads up, my bike is Raleigh Diablo Pro.

Planning to get some bike shorts over the weekend. How do I know which padding is good and which isn't ? Also i've been doing some research and it's recommended that riders lube the padding and nether region before putting on the shorts to reduce/eliminate chaffing especially when doing long rides .. ermm what kind of lubes to use and is there other generic brand/makes that can be used that cheaper compared to getting it at the bike shop ??

Thanks

you can get those handlebar torch mount for like RM12.. that way you can reuse any LED torch you have or buy an LED torch and it will serve as dual purpose for house no electricity or maybe go hiking...

if you are afraid, don't do it...

if you are not, do it at your own consideration...

ampang is rather far though.. and if it rains especially like this 2 months... chances of you getting drenched is high... still ok on the way back... but going to uni... defiintely a no-no...

there are chamois cream that you can buy from bike shops... not cheap though... cheap alternatives is actually vaseline petroleum jelly but being not water based will be harder to wash off...

i heard those baby diaper cream works too... but never bothered with it anyway...

padding is personal preferential... there are foam, gel type pads.. and then there is those one piece, contour type or anti microbial... lots of choices and you will only know after trying on a pair or two which type you like...

Lai Lai lai!

ok thanks. Will have to compare those really expensive ones with cheaper ones to see the difference in the padding. Might just end up with whatever that's on sale first

DAMNNNNNNNNNN ... those trek looks sweet

group test ride?

try pedal spot and see if their jersey sale is still on... buy 1 free 1... jersey + shorts or jersey + jersey

when you are hungry... even the roadkill at the side of the road will be sufficient...

our body works in many mysterious ways....

it's not an easy thing to pee on the bike...nuff said..

dun try those professional style peeing, or muscle flexing on the bike... very bad outcome... i am the victim of the latter one...

safest way too pee... and you contribute back to nature...just make sure no pretty chicks is looking..


you must think it's a water bottle isn't it???


armstrong supporter fat cyclist wrote an article on how to pee on the bike...which is off little relevance.. but if it fancies a try... should be interesting...
How To Pee Whilst Riding Your Bike

most pros just let fly on the go... you see teammates pushing them and then without doing anything.. they pee in their bibs like a baby pissing in the diaper...gross, but fast and effective.. and no chance of your snake being shown on facebook...

the one thing you should never try... or you end up looking like an alien who doesn't know how to fly a UFO...

I think the chicks will think.. TSDB. t00 strainful for the eyes? So no solutions for chicks with a gurly nature screaming call?

you can buy a condom and out a hose at the tip and connect it to your water bottle... wear it while you go riding and when nature calls... jus pee in and it will fill the bottle.... super discreet ajd ppl will thino its chrisantemum tea

Why me..la.. u..la, this is a general question..only. For me I do it the pro way, either on the move or water the roadside plants.

cause you asked...

do it either way you like... just make sure you don't face plant on the ground while trying to do a free willie... road rash on little brother might be darn awful and seriously hard to explain to friends without them laughing their balls off and feeling sorry for you at the same time...

keyboard warrior... i only know guitar hero... new game?
