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

Any brand of road bike that suit my budget. RM1.5k~RM1.8k

Corruption is a good way of learning too i guess. And to motivate me to work harder.

Im in Sarawak btw. To get good type of 2 wheels is a dream here.

Only one official Polygon shop in MJC Kuching which is 9 hours drive from my place.

9 hours from Kuching. Seems like somewhere in bintulu? Im in Miri and there are a few nice shops here.

If u want some polygon in ur price range go to LeRun which in near Imperial Mall.
You can also find some exitway(There's other expensive bike here too) beside Dave's Deli near Imperial Mall too. The one beside Dave's Deli i'm not sure whats the name and it has another branch in Lutong but im not sure where. Never been there.

I bought my Merida at Hiap Ho near Boulevard shopping complex. Slightly over 2k. This shop is nice. Lots of awesome bike. Lower floor Malaysian bikes, upper flower international brands.

And there's a shop somewhere in Permyjaya that sells XDS which is cheap but im not sure about the quality. That shop also sell other brands like Trek etc.

For u to window shop all these shops i think u need at least 2 days. biggrin.gif
