Ah, shimano crank eh. Either just go with qring+shimano crank and stay at #3 position, or try the other brands. Not sure which ones can adjust position though haha.

My qring I just install at #3 position, been using for about 3 years, never bothered changing. Only took 3 rides to get used to it. But probably best suited for people who don't mind grinding, really builds up the quads haha

Got many friends using canyon. Overall experience positive. Got any issues canyon customer quite helpful. I considered the allez sprint disc comp to replace my bike, got hit by a car early this year. But didn't get it cos need to budget extra for upgrades, stock weight about 9kg 😅.

Hi fellow commuter, i'm also commute to work on road bike with total around 20km to workplace 5 days a week. Carry small backpack with clothing too, towels and cleaning stuff i put in the office.

You got look at Cannondale punya super 6 evo yet?

Hey there! Same mileage! I leave soap in my office locker too. Where do you usually leave/park your bike? I park mine in one of the document storerooms. They were kind enough to vacate a wall for me. I work in a factory/industrial area/warehouse kind of building. Do you bring some tools with you during the ride or leave some emergency tools in your office in case you need to fix something?

I also mostly weekend warrior early on, slowly transitioning to incorporate cycling into everyday life.

My parking space a bit rough, i parked in the open under the sun next to cars. My road bike MERIDA have been under the hot sun and rain for more than 10 years luckily no rust since its made from reliable material. I work in the office. I bring multi tools, fiber tape, 3x packs of 700x25 cc inner tubes, cycling rain gear in my bag and compact cylindrical foldable floor pump tied on my bike frame. I have my own video how i commute and how i fix flat with tools in my beg shown below video:

Wow, informative video! That sounds like a lot of things in the backpack haha!

The backpack not that heavy if you know how to do weight saving.

sometimes i commute from pj to my office at klang. 30km +- one way.
to office i use federal highway. on my way back use kesas highway.

shower and change clothes in office. bike put next to pantry room.

usually i will bring everything inside my hydration bag. take out the hydration bladder. so the bag is slim only. scared to put anything on jersey pocket because worry about somebody might snatch my phone/wallet.

Anybody rode during the haze? How was it?

Same here, i don't use hydration bladder. In place will have more storage for slim phone and wallet. I can even fit 10.5" notebook and few extra on my 12L camelbak.



I rode through haze everyday, smells like BBQ, smoky jersey and very itchy nose that will ended up watery nose. The trick is to slow down my commuting speed so i don't have to breath too much. Today seems to be ok since i felt my nose less itch to haze.

So I assumed that you ride to work in your cycling attire, take a bath & change clothes in the office. Where do you keep your sweaty cycling attire & do you change into them again before riding home from work?

people do ride here huh

miaopurr malulah engko

BTW where did all of you ride over the weekend

I'm curious. Why don't you invest in a mask?

Save your lungs bossku!

malu apa bossku

Ko tak kayo

Jerebu la. Jaga kesihatan

Before riding to office i have to take bath first to get rid of overnight bacteria, then don cycling attire with mtb baggy style on road bike because those cycling attire will quickly evaporate my sweat thanks to Cool Max fabric. Between the ride i stop at cafe for breakfast. Then when reach office i take bath for second time. Usually once i had an early bath at home i won't smell any stench on the sweat because the bacteria is gone and less impact when drying my jersey in the office and my body odour. At the office i just need to wipe my body, put deodorant and wear my formal office attire and long pants. My Cycling jersey and pants just dry under aircond. My black SPD shoes is my formal walking shoes.

So evening after work when cycling home i just maintain wear my formal working office shirt and mtb baggy pants to ride so i don't look like racer geek when i need to stop by shopping and dinner at cafe. Previous morning cycling clothing just store back inside my backpack. If you look at the videos above you can see i wore back my DURBAN/SNAIL formal shirt to ride back even in the rain.



I don't use it because i wear neck scarf to cover my face. I don't use such mask unless 3M certified because i knew how the factory made those stuff...breathing 'poly' hazard.

Snapshots of my today commuting from work, not much haze but traffic jam remain the same. Reached cafe for dinner faster than car and less stress to park, lol.
