yeah i read that before. since i have not registered last year, i wonder if we can go in ghost ride or not ;p

Stated this:

- It is a MUST for all riders to wear the official event cycling jersey during the ride as well.

- Riders who turn up without a helmet or official event cycling jersey will not be allowed to participate.

Not allowed to ride without helmet ok la BUT no official event jersey also not allowed to participate cannot accept lo.
Why must force to pay for participation as this is a fun ride and not a race? This event is suppose to be organised in conjunction with Malaysia’s 56th National Day Celebration. It should be those who want the goodie bag then pay lo. Else they prefer not to then no need lo.

aiyah, OCBC ride also same statement what... still i see plenty of riders without official jersey, and hell, even without bib numbers (ghost lor...)

u means all those fake lumen that mention on the box ?
i never have a chance to hold or test anything above 400 lumen led touch light yet ...
btw i test lumen by lumen tester from hella beam + lumen detector, not by eye ....

any one kind enough to borrow his +500 lumen led touch ?

Anyway, it is a public road. We got pay our taxes. No one can stop us from using it ma. Haha

where are you located ah? i've always wanted to know my bike's china mali spotlight punya actual lumens.

I decided one cheap china torchlight with bracket
Can double up as torchlight
Then i get one cateye EL450 for usd35 as primary light

pulau pinang hheheheh
i'm light lover, always want to test out lumen and beam pattern

Aiyoh very far.

new bar

fuji ar ???

Dahon dash p18 and now is x18

Which works better? The road bike brake levers or the normal brake levers when combined with mechanical disc brakes?

i change shimano sora 2x9 brake levers, just now test ride always so far so good

I just registered cuz i wanna ave the jersey. historic bro..first cycling event on the new bridge. haha

for those who interested can still register but u have to do it manually. go to their office (bicycle town) penang. they closed at 5pm. online registration already tutup.

But i'm from KL leh.... Go up just for the sake of registering and then go again for the event? Doesnt seem viable. Anyway i guess i'll take the risk of ghosting. I have no intention on the goodies or shirts. I just wana have an excuse to ride once on the bridge and that's it, not like wana do it again after that one time anyway,.

Hi all

I just preordered hummer foldable 26 inch 21 speed.

Any advice or recommendation?
