Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been busy and resting after getting my Coronavirus Covid-19 vaccine booster shot. I didn't do any weights training or go out for a long cycling trip. I only cycle from home to work and vice versa. At least maintaining some kind of fitness.

I'm not a professional rider and I only cycle for keeping myself fit and enjoying riding around the country to enjoy nature or interesting places. I haven't used public transport for a couple of months. In this pandemic or endemic that's actually a good thing. I guess.

I've also been pimping my foldable mountain bike. Buying bike parts and accessories that I like. I find it actually kinda relaxing doing work on my own bike. You definitely need the tools though. Get a bike tool kit set before you decide to do anything on it.

My ride is a cheap foldable mountain bike. On my youtube video, there are some comments that disapprove of my purchase. One even told me I'm better off walking than buying it. I beg to differ. Yeah, it is cheap. Why would I buy an expensive bike just for cycling to work?

I actually bought a folding bike for riding to work and I had a horrible time using it. I just started cycling again and I was already feeling tired and the bike felt heavy. I was wondering if it's because of the tires. It was only when I bought a new pump that I finally enjoy riding it.

I finally managed to cycle up my personal "slope of hell". After over two months or so, I might have also improved my leg strength and fitness level. But, it was really when I bought and change to my current mountain bike that it gets more comfortable and faster.

My colleague at work even commented that I look better riding a mountain bike than a folding bike. He's kinda right. I feel more comfortable riding a mountain bike than a folding bike. For some reason, I couldn't stand on a folding bike like you do on a mountain bike.

My mountain bike is the cheap type made in China. Although I'm happy with it, I've been watching videos and checking out expensive bikes made in Europe and America. I don't have that much money to buy. They cost 3-4 months or maybe more of anyone's paycheck. Lol.

Unless I have a sponsor, it'll be cool to test them out. I'm pretty sure, there'll be a vast difference in quality. Especially, the suspension system. Personally, I'll prefer a bikepacking bicycle to a trail bike. Like I've said before, I like riding to nature parks and interesting places.

I'm waiting for my bike camera bag to arrive so that I can hang it on my handlebar instead of my camera backpack. I already have a backpack for carrying my waterbag and other loose items. Since I bought my mountain bike, I'm really enjoying cycling again.

Also, I get to cycle to places that I never thought even existed. Beautiful nature that exists in sometimes secluded areas that we concrete dwellers didn't even know about. Isn't it funny that you've been living for years in a country and didn't even know that such beauty is just around the corner?

Check out my youtube channel for some of those nature parks that I've visited!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I finally did it. I planned to go cycling today on the 1st Jan 2022 to a nearby park and discovered that I can also visit other parks via a road connector that's only for cyclists/walking/running. Despite the still ongoing pandemic, there are surprisingly many other people too.

Well, kinda obvious as it's the holiday. I didn't even notice if people were wearing masks. There are parents with their kids walking or cycling in each separate lane. This connector is really useful as all you have to do is follow the cycling path to every park in the country.

Using an app, I managed to know how far and how fast I'm cycling. I can read the info on my losing calories etc. I believe, I cycled a total of around 24km today. I'm surprised, to be able to cycle that far without having leg cramps or giving up.

I'm thinking that because I've been cycling to and fro to work and home every day that actually helps me build my fitness. Even though, it's not that far. I've even been losing around 1kg per week. It isn't that bad considering, I haven't been exercising for a long time.

In fact, I have a slipped disc and two bad knees. Forget about running, cycling is the best low-impact exercise for me. I did feel a slight pain on both my thighs when I was returning from my sis house. It was also raining. The bicycle felt heavy but I persevered.

Right now, I don't really feel any kind of effect on my body. But, I'm pretty sure, tomorrow I'll definitely feel some sores here and there. If I don't, then I might have improved my overall fitness. It's good that I've been starting slow and don't try to overdo it.

I'm not getting any younger and the body I had when I was young and in the military is vastly different. That's why I started light and only add to my training bits by bits. I also set up my own home gym with an exercise bench and weights to improve my physique. But, most importantly get my 6-packs back.

I'm happy that in the last 3 months of last year, I managed to lose some weight even though not much. At least whatever I'm doing it's working. I'm also happy that now, I can cycle from park to park and further away without worrying about traffics.

I really had fun and enjoyed riding my folding mountain bike. In one of my youtube videos, there were some people who said that it's not a good bike. But, I'm loving it. Yes, it's cheap. That's precisely why I bought it. Of course, if I had the money or a pro, I'll definitely get a more expensive bike.

I'm also having fun changing some of my bicycle parts and adding accessories. So far, I've changed my bike pedal and seat. I've bought a new bike handlebar, grips, brake levers, and stem. Some of them have already arrived but some haven't. Can't wait to fit 'em all. Pimping my mountain bike!
