To start,
1. we will need to identify the parking lot that will be safe to park our cars.
2. Get down to plan a route to ride around in the city...
3. with a food stopover ( get some drinks and food for breakfast - maybe at teh tarik , roti canai stalls?)
4. Bikes group Photo sessions, , the Cyclists group photo sessions, Anyone got Go Pro hero, can bring along too..


we will need one cyclist in the front to lead the way (not too fast, not too slow)
we will need one cyclist at the back to be on the look out to cover any one who slips or terjatuh ...

We can park at these areas

Padang Merbok
Hornbill Restaurant
public parking outside the Selangor Club
public parking outside Industrial Court

Food
We can try Market at Jalan Imbi?

Suggestion for Route?

Taman Tasik Perdana - Jalan Tun Perak - Petaling Street - Hang Tuah - Imbi Market(5km - food) - Jln Sultan Ismail - Prince Medical Center - KLCC(8km) - Jln Ampang - Capsquare - Jalan Dang Wangi - Jalan TAR - Jln Tun Perak - Taman Tasik Perdana(11km)

This is a total of 12km only, but of course with traffic and all will take more than 2 hours i believe ... or if you all want we can do the food at Yut Kee, depending on whos joining .. but the 2 food places suggested here are not halal ...

Just a suggestion

You better find a better place to eat other than Jalan Imbi market! Although Ah Weng Hailam Tea is good ( I drink there practically every morning) , their service is not too accommodating and the problem of parking your bikes is there, more so on a Sunday. You won't even get a table either at Ah Weng or beisde.

Is that a Verge P18?

This Wheel Lights
are going viral on FB. Maybe nothing new to you

Guys, I am having stock Kenda 20x1.75. Let say I change to Scwhable Big Apple which is 20x2.0 is obvouisly more heavier, will my ride get slower? If yes but why?
Cause I thought BA have much lower rolling resistant than stock Kenda tyre. If the rolling resistant is lower, wont the speed improve as well? Yes, i know that with BA which is balloon tyre i get more comfortable ride.

So my question is, changing from stock Kenda to BA will it increase or decrease the speed?

Put it this way: If you paid for your airfare, hotel, food, GST or Tax in the country, foreign exchange for the bike, flying back with it and not getting slapped by the Kastam at KLIA and it's still cheaper than buying in Malaysia, then, it's "cheap".




Ah, a very touchy-feely thing. A group of people who hantam Mainstream medias kow-kow, and yet they want the glamour of being featured as martyrs of bicycling...

IN the case of the leader: its the typical saying: [[i]"Nak bergaya, tapi tak sayang nyawa..[i/][b/]

They said that wearing a cycling helmet is: "A sense of false hope.."

Accidents do happen. It doesn't mean that a car or a motorsikal will bang you, but rather loosing your footing and hitting your head on the kerb.

Way it seems, this fella had never fallen off his basikal. When he cracks his head open, then its too late la..



A word of advise: Stay away from riding along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. It's a busy road, the buses are unforgiving...



Cycling along Jalan TAR in KL City Centre..



For a more "quiet" area, you might want to consider the OCBC Cycle Malaysia route - especially from Dataran Merdeka to Kenny Hills, and then, head back towards Lake Gardens..

Sam

came across this tiny foldie, carry me. 8" but seems to ride well according to reviews

u think this is an ideal short commuter ?

Ok that I did not thought of at all..

Missed the cham ping, popiah, and yong tau foo there...

Maybe we can settle with mamak somewhere...hahaha

I do have another suggestion. Instead of parking in KL, we try out the Car –Train – Bicycle option, to get the experience of commuting by car, train and bicycle, so that you know what to expect in your future travels.


1. Park at Asia Jaya open car park (RM6 per day). We can have peace of mind leaving our cars there as this is a paid car park area and no thieves should be breaking any car windows.
2. Fold the bikes, use elevator to go up to the train platform (got to use two different elevators and you will not need to carry your bikes – too heavy for me. Just fold it and Push or Pull it along using the bike’s wheels ) I normally do not use any bag to cover the bike nowadays, just fold it and hold on to it while in the train.
3. Use the LRT to go to Masjid Jamek (get out and use two different elevators again to go out)
4. Once you are past the Ticketing machine, you can then unfold your bikes and push it down a ramp at the rear end towards the river side next to Bank Muamalat. Again you do not have to carry your bikes down any stairs.
5. Once we are on the open road, we can then proceed to the route that anyone can come up with. (We can start from OCBC building to follow Samo’s suggestion, have breakfast at some food stalls and take the train from any LRT station in town to get back to the Asia Jaya LRT car park) But the route going on Jalan Kuching sounds scary, I have heard of many fatal accidents there – also the OCBC cycle ride may have outrider escorts, so its safer I think? Personally I prefer the quieter roads or back roads, Jalan Inai, Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Ceylon, Jalan Alor, can also go to Pudu market )


If everyone is ok, we can try to follow the timing below this coming Sunday morning :

At 7am, reach car park at Asia Jaya. Take train to reach Masjid Jamek at 7:30am.
7:30am to 8:30 am ride around the city.
8:45am look for food spot, have breakfast, take photos (we go for halal food if our Muslim brothers join in)
9:30am ride to any LRT Train station in case we are tired as this is the first long distance ride (and this LRT can be Pasar Seni, Dang Wangi, or even KLCC) to go back to Asia Jaya car park.
10:30 am Fold bikes and pack up in the cars (so long and bye bye till the next event)


What to Prepare?
1. Helmet is preferable
2. Light or bright color T-shirt
3. Rear red light (not necessary but will be helpful even in the daytime)
4. Bottle of water / canned drinks
5. Puncture kit and spare inner tube (I will be bringing mine on a saddle bag, so you don’t need to buy if you don’t have – but mine is a 20” tube)
6. Small tool kit / allen keys to adjust brakes and brake pads, saddle positions, handlebars, I will bring mine as well
7. First aid kit (minimal needed - plasters, cotton buds and antiseptic cream) in case you get a fall and cut yourself or get foot blisters
8. Small chain or cable lock as you will need to leave your bikes somewhere while you get your breakfast
9. Small back pack or small bag slung over your handlebars to carry your loose items



One last NOTE: If on Sunday morning, it rains cats and dogs, like with lightning and thunder, have to abandon plans for city ride !!! Its not much fun to ride in heavy rain, slight drizzle is still OK.



If there are more than 5 riders, we will go for it. If not, then we wait for another weekend.

1. budgee (Lawrence )

Is this spam bot?

But nevertheless this seems complicated to install...and at 229usd... thats very expensive and they wont fit 20" foldie wheels

If its this sunday.. there is plans for genting peras but if there is enough quota here ... I might join here

But I will be coming from kl... will meet u all in front of lrt then

What to Prepare?
1. Helmet is preferable
HELMETS SHOULD BE COMPULSORY! No helemt NO ride.[
2. Light or bright color T-shirt
3. Rear red light (not necessary but will be helpful even in the daytime)
Rear light is highly advisible.
4. Bottle of water / canned drinks
5. Puncture kit and spare inner tube (I will be bringing mine on a saddle bag, so you don’t need to buy if you don’t have – but mine is a 20” tube)
It's OK for the patch kit if you don't carry one. It actually meant more for touring nowadays as space in the panniers are tight. For rides as mentioned, just carry two spare tubes. It's faster and more convenient. If you want to patch then carry the punctured tubes home and patch at home. You don't want to be holding up the whole ride while you patch and most of the times, patching is shoddy when in a hurry! Carrying your own spare tubes must also be made compulsory!

6. Small tool kit / allen keys to adjust brakes and brake pads, saddle positions, handlebars, I will bring mine as well
7. First aid kit (minimal needed - plasters, cotton buds and antiseptic cream) in case you get a fall and cut yourself or get foot blisters
8. Small chain or cable lock as you will need to leave your bikes somewhere while you get your breakfast
9. Small back pack or small bag slung over your handlebars to carry your loose items

LOVE YOUR BRAIN!!!

I have a spare motorcycle helmet...kekeke
