try not to cycling alone at night time, go with at least another cyclist. i dont know dare to travel far during the night alone, usually I do criterium training at night, whereby i cycle on the same road few loops over and over again but with a high cadence intensity. the loop doesnt need to be long, usually ranging from 1.0km to 2.5km, i usually do about 25km if I am alone, if with a bunch other riders, push it to 35km - 40km but in a peloton.

Hi cyclist, never knew this thread exist for people who cycle.
anyway how much would a regular rear blinker cost? how long does the battery last? and what light u guys use for front light? cuz my current light require 4 AA batteries which wears out quite quickly. |

Went to bike shop again today, think I finally made my decision - thinking of placing an order later this week.
I'm now looking at the Scott Speedster S30 - similar to the S40/50 I was looking at previously but no SORA groupset components , 105/Tiagra Price can get for around RM3200. Bit higher than I wanted to spend originally ... but if I end up upgrading groupset on a cheaper bike will work out more expensive. |

damansara perdana is a great to stay at, you can cycle to Klang via Puncak Alam and back, you can also cycle to Ijok or Kuala Selangor via Guthrie Highway.

Thanks for tips ... will check those out once I got used to my bike.What's it like cycling on the highway? I guess there isn't many small roads to cycle via |

Usually the battery can last for months as you only use at night front light preferably go for cat eye (my suggestion), which offer better brightness |
