The question is also whether after spending so much and encroached into a medium range or expert range bikes, I would not have the skills to control the bike and end up falling and breaking the bikes into bits..
Assuming my budget is 4.5k only, which bike would you recommend?
Silvy, thought you were looking at a MTB (Trek X-Caliber)?

my mom laughed about wearing a construction safety helm = ="
I only managed to do a 22.4km/h avg speed on my first ride.. seems like only slightly faster than my mtb.. doing a 800m x 13. Many corner and cars.. Geram..
Ok lar.. First time I cycled on my Diablo MTB, 6km already feel like want to die

Just need to keep pushing yourself constantly to build up your stamina.

Hmm sigh.. big head means expensive helm, no choice I guess...
Been laughed by my family member for unable to get a helm
Well, a good helmet is a good long term investment. My first cheap helmet didn't last long before the straps started coming loose. Helps to shop around to check out your options.
