Aiya..... EXPOSED

On my way home, I saw a green shirt foldies and a lady cyclist on Federal Highway heading to Subang, who from the photo you posed, look kind of like you.

Whoah! That is hardcore!

Sam

Hiya I'm new here, and very new to folding bikes (but tres excited to hopefully, be part of the foldie community!)
Been doing lots of research here and endlessly surfing bicyclebuysell for good deals on the bike.
I almost had my mind set on buying the Kalaq Q5 (rm750) or Q6 (RM9xx) based on it's awesome looks (looks a lot
like a Dahon Mu but obviously it's not lol).

After more reading and reading, I thought what the heck, might as splurge more and get something reputable and
reliable with the hope I won't ever have to upgrade (or at least, not in the near future anyway ..hehe)

Went to Vans Urban PJ branch today and bought a Tern Link P8 on a whim. They're having some promotion until 28 Sept 2013. Pretty good deal, for RM1890 they give you the bike, a free Nutcase helmet, bottle cage and a free Knog Blinker LED light.

Dealt with a guy there named YC, he was really nice and patient with me, being a noob and all. And even let me
test ride two bikes (Boardwalk D8 and the Tern P8) in their cute little track behind the store.

Gonna collect it tomorrow..can't wait! Hope I didn't make the wrong decision, but being a Tern, can't go wrong, right?

Dude,

You were very lucky with that "YC" guy... Last time I talked to him, nearly came to blows.. hahahahah...

I think after the lady boss hammered him for lousy customer service, he improved..

The Link D8 is a decent bike. Just make sure they tuned it up nicely for you before you take delivery.. And congrats with your purchase!

Yesterday's World Car Free outing was awesome!



Riding in the Ninja-Turtle trail.. Sewer and below the city level..



My gang..

Climbing out of the sewer..

Sam

Wow, the tailou of Folding Bikes Msia Sam himself was the first to post after me. This is such an honour!
Oh he had lousy customer service ah? oops, I guess i must be lucky then
Next step, build up strength and stamina!
Ok will make sure they tune up the bike properly, anything I should know about tuning other than brakes,
derailleurs etc?

The brakes should grip without screeching and the shifting ought to be smooth.. If properly tuned, you will have a lot of fun with your folding bike!

Also check the latch on the physis stem as well as the one on the frame.. Lock-up should be solid..

Sam

It was good to see you again Chief!

Damn I should have gone down the sewers with my gang! Haha will definitely plan another ride around town + Ninja Turtle route!

Hahahah!!!! My pleasure too!

Thirty-seven people is a big group la.. All of them ride down the sewer at once, the Pek Hoon Kia would dive into the river..

Sam

Hey guys, been 2 days im riding the foldies back and forth to class and love it so much that I even ride in formal attire lol

anyway, instead of looking weird people do say that somehow it look normal and even pretty cool.

not a single regret on purchasing this foldies

quick question tho, is there anything bad if I regularly fold the bike tho? like a broken clamp/hinge or anything could happen?

I think Sam has covered most of it. Welcome to the folding club!

You almost came to blows, oh.
Who's the customer , we shld be asking.


Yup, get your bike and let's go a folding and a riding till the Sun goes down.

Ok noted. Braking no screeching, shifting should be smooth and to check lock up hinges. Thanks!

And thanks etigge! Finally my first foldie

On a Car Free Day, we went cycling ..




a mixture of foldies, including khs, dahon, birdy, trinx, hummer, if reach, and some i dun know.






on the bike lane along Fed Highway.





going under



Brickfields

We bumped into another group also on the bike lane near Midvalley, with some 16 inch bikes and a Brompton,

The camaraderie was high, with greetings of Good mornings...

And fortunately for one of these cyclists, he found lots of money on the bike lane itself and stopped to just scoop it up.



Trying to outrun the KLIA express train..

y?
wana go for sea freight... and get it for total less than 2.5k RM ?

I had this in mind for some time now.

How do I ride from Kelana Jaya to Jalan Raja Chulan? I know the motorists lane starts right after the butterfly bridge before Sungai Way, but it ends around Mid Valley right? So where should I go after that? Do i still ride along Federal Highway or is there anywhere that I can turn into?

Appreciate your guidance.

the bike lane used to go all the way to brickfields...
now becos of the new ramp... the bike lane was blocked...
u can still ride from mid valley using the bike lane,
and come out frm bfields tru ang seng area.. ( check the map )
and go to the city via jln tun sambanthan.....

budgee will be able to guide.. since he baru jalan yday right....?
