I love cycling on my java veloce road bike to punggol boardwalk


Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping.

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I went out cycling yesterday on my Java Veloce road bike and it makes me realize how much I miss it. I usually went cycling when there's a long holiday weekend. So, I won't be too tired the next day at work. It was kinda a last-minute decision as I thought I would just rest at home.

Well, I'm glad, I decided to go. Although, it's just a quick ride. Usually, when I went out cycling, I'm in mission mode. Bringing along my Nikon camera to take photos of places I visited. I decided to just have a nice ride along the cycling path and then return home.

I've checked the weather forecast and it was supposed to be sunny early in the morning and heavy rainfall in the afternoon. It was already dark and started drizzling by the time I reached my target destination. I managed to get some pictures and videos of the places I stop by.

You can watch the video above or here on my youtube channel. That's part of the reason why I love cycling. I get to go out and do some exercise and at the same time visit places that I've never been to before. Also, I started to love photography after I bought my Nikon P950 and Zfc.

The Java bike that I bought is the only road bike that I have ever bought and owned. I usually prefer a mountain bike. I always thought road bikes are only for athletes and those loving to race. I decided to get one because I thought it'll be much faster riding one.

I found out that it's actually a fun bike to ride. Although I'm afraid to hurt my back with all that bending, it's not all that bad. I just needed to adjust the seat and the handlebar. But, the speed is what it's all about. I love the feeling of going fast on a straight road.

My budget Java Veloce road bike with its aluminum frame is pretty light and strong. I didn't have to use much power and it was a smooth ride even when the road aren't smooth with cracks and small twigs bumps. I have bad knees so, I don't really want to push too hard. 

I just make sure I have a good rhythm and a constant space. I'm not that young anymore too. I think the maximum speed I went was almost 30km/h. That's when it was a straight road with no other cyclists or joggers. I did try to catch a rider though but in the end, he went another route.

My co-worker used to urge me to buy an e-bike. There's been actually a lot of accidents involving them. They've also been in the news that causing fires because of the battery. I think it's cool but it beats the reason of me getting into cycling for health reasons. 

Yes, my knees feel the strain but I rather enjoy the hard work and the sweats. I like my Java veloce but I'm thinking of getting a Java suprema aero full carbon frame bike. It looks super cool and I'm assuming it's much faster. Right now, I'm into Java bikes. Did you know they collaborate with an Italian designer?

stickers bomb my new java veloce road bike 😂


Java Fuoco 22 Speed Carbon Fiber Shimano R7000 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I've only got my JAVA Veloce road bike for almost two weeks and already I've stickers bomb it. Can't help myself. I actually bought the stickers for my folding bike. Which I've owned since last year. Yes, it's kinda new too.

I recently got into cycling again after getting a folding bike for commuting to work. My new workplace is pretty near my home. It's a no-brainer to cycle to work instead of wasting my time waiting for the bus. I also saved some travel fares and get to exercise.

Well, one big reason is that I wanted to get rid of my big tummy and get back my six-packs. Got tired of everyone telling me I'm fat. I'm not fat, just my err..tummy is big. The problem is, my workplace is too near my house and it's not enough to get slim just by cycling.

I needed to control and watch what I eat. The good news is I've actually lost some weight. From 76kg to now 68kg. I'm having a problem going down to 67kg. If I can break that barrier, I might be able to get back to my 63-65kg old self.

It is kinda funny because I'm not young and reaching the big 50 soon. Even everyone is surprised and asks why only now that I become interested in cycling. Well, you're never too old to go cycling. In fact, I feel kinda happy whenever I ride my bike.

I love my mountain bike and love more my new Java Veloce road bike. Every time, I ride it, I wanna go as fast as I can. But, I take my time when I rode my mountain bike and become more adventurous. Like cycling on the grass or on dirt paths.

My colleague told me to get an e-bike. They're interesting but as I've said earlier, I wanted to exercise, and getting an e-bike will only make me lazier. One of my colleagues has one and he used it to work part-time as a Grab food delivery.

I won't mind getting an e-bike if I'm like him doing part-time. You get to places faster and with less energy. Of course, I can do it with my road bike too but I'm more into leisure than work. I love going on long rides to national parks enjoying nature and taking pictures with my Nikon P950.

I'm basically in half retirement mode. I cycle for fun and only work just to pay the basic utility bills. With my bikes, I can get some exercise and visit places that I've never been to. I didn't even know there were rivers I can cycle along and windy beaches where I can relax just by cycling.

Check out some of the stickers bombs on my Java Veloce road bike below:







Red Bull is one of my favorite energy drinks. Though, I try not to drink too much of them. One of the reasons I have their decal stickers. I also love Gatorade where they seem to make my nightly cramps disappear. By the way, I also put decal stickers on my thermal flask water bottle. 

I prefer a thermal flask water bottle because I want to keep my drinks cold or hot much longer. On longer rides, I'll also bring my cycling 2L water bladder bag as my main drink. If you like bike packing that bladder bag will be useful to carry more water.

Anyway, get your decal stickers here if you're interested to put them on your bike.

my new cheap bike drop bar and accessories #shorts


RXL SL [US Stock] Carbon Handlebar Road Bike 31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 400/420/440mm Cycling Bent Bar Drop Bars

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I think it was last month that I bought a drop bar to try on my mountain bike. I wanted to see and feel the difference between using a handlebar and a drop bar. Although, I felt that I needed to adjust the stem length as I was leaning too far forward. I can already feel a little strain in my back.

It does feel good when using the drop bar. I like gripping the drop and going faster on a straight road or rather pathway. Even though it's a mountain bike. The con is, that I don't feel as confident when going off-road or downhill. A handlebar offers better control.

If you have read my last post, I have finally decided to get myself a road bike. This is the first time that I actually own and ride one. And, it's all after I've tried using the drop bar on my mountain bike. I'm really getting into riding the road bike.

My road bike is the budget JAVA Veloce the first version. Which I think came out in 2021. There's a new version, Veloce 2. But, it's kinda over my budget. I'm a newbie when comes to a road bike that's why I didn't want to buy anything expensive.

I'm afraid of hurting my back. The way you ride a road bike is definitely different than riding a mountain bike. Especially, in the posture. You'll want to be in an aero posture when riding a road bike but in a more upright position on a mountain bike. 

A road bike is for the speed while a mountain bike is more for the off-road adventure. I like going off-road but something about wanting to go faster on a road bike is kinda a little addicting. You also don't really care about the handling when on a smooth tarmac road.

As much as I prefer using a handlebar, I actually love using the drop bar too. I'm really glad that my bike drop bar has a flat surface portion that I can rest my hands on while riding. An 'expert' I watched on a video says that he likes it too as it feels like a tabletop.

The drop-bar that I bought to fit on my mountain bike is the cheap version but it's still comfortable. But, if I was looking to buy a new drop bar, I'll buy the type that's on my road bike. You can feel better in quality and comfort. Another good thing about using a drop bar is that I stop having numb hands.

I like the integrated drop bar design. Looks cool. But, one of the experts on the drop bar said he hate it. You can't adjust the stem length and rotation to fit your own body posture. Unless you found or have a company that specifically builds one for you. Lol.

As I've said, I'm a road bike newbie and I watch a lot of video tips on-road bikes. I've learned a lot and actually make riding a road bike more comfortable and safe. Currently, my road bike is my main for commuting to work. I want to get used to my new JAVA road bike before going on longer rides.

Investing in a budget road bike for commuting to work and also going on longer rides around the country. My aluminum frame road bike is definitely lighter than my mountain bike. I'm still waiting for my speedometer to arrive so that I see how fast I can go on a road bike.

The worry that I might have a problem using the road bike because of my slipped disc and used to riding a mountain bike with a handlebar is all gone now. I'm happy that I bought the bike and have fun riding it. Of course, I needed to tweak it a little to fit my own body size and riding style.

The JAVA Veloce is definitely worth the money for a budget road bike hunter!
