Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, Tuesday 1st Feb 2022 was the first day of CNY aka Chinese New Year. I believe it's the year of the tiger. I've been planning to go out cycling either last Sunday or on Tues. It's a public holiday, so, I can rest on Wednesday before having to go back to work on Thursday.

I've also been planning to bring along my Nikon P950 camera. That's why I bought the bike handlebar front bag. I can quickly attach and dis-attached the bag to the holder and bring it along when I need to. Pretty nifty. This way, I don't have to bring along another backpack.

I actually smashed my mountain bike into a metal railing while trying to do a jump at the side of the road and I've forgotten about my camera. I only saw that my new handgrips were ripped and the ring missing. It was only later that I remembered and check it.

Luckily, my camera didn't even have a single bend or scratch. Meanwhile, I hurt my right thumb and scratched my helmet visor. I've decided to order a new one. That visor might actually have saved me from having a broken nose, again.

I also scratched my face and tummy. Only realized it when I look in the mirror after returning home. I don't know what the heck happened. I was confident of clearing the little bump. Might have hit the root of the tree and that askew the wheels to the right towards the railing.

If the railing weren't there, I would have fallen into the big drain. Damn, I was kind of lucky. I checked my nose if there was blood and there was none. Didn't feel any pain and didn't break anything. At my age, it'll be a little difficult to be injured. Yet, I do stupid stuff. Lol!

Well, in spite of that little incident, I had a really good cycling, bikepacking day. I went from one beach to another beach, got a little lost but got back to the track following my Google map. Of course, I took a lot of videos and photos both with my trusty old Samsung Note 10+ and P950.

I should have charged my phone when I'm not using it as it died when I was almost home. I brought two extra batteries for my camera and only use two of them. I'm still a newbie photographer and there are some things I still don't understand how it works.

I'm thinking of getting the latest Insta360 camera with a 1-inch sensor. I like the idea of being able to get great pictures at night or when the weather or places are a little darker. If I had the camera, I would have actually captured my attempt at the jump and crashing stupidly into the railing.

One of the reasons, you don't see any video of me riding the bike is because I can't hold the big P950 at the same time. I even tried using my mobile phone but it shakes terribly when it's on the handlebar. I don't have any good holder for it.

The pictures above are some of the places I cycle to and took with my Nikon P950. You can see more pics and vids on my youtube video. If you like it, give a comment on my video and check out my other videos on my main youtube channel here.

Well, what do you guys think?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Just got me a mountain bike handlebar aka front bag, camera bag, sling bag for my bikepacking adventure. Well, not really going camping but cycling to nature parks around the country. I didn't want to bring another backpack as I'm already carrying my water bag.

I also already have a rear bag. Which can carry more stuff too. Pretty useful since sometimes, it can fit in my lunch. I bring a big water bottle in my small cycling bag. I love cycling to work, even though it's just a short trip. Cut my time to 7-10 mins.

My main reason to cycle to work and go on a cycling adventure is to lose weight. Especially, my big tummy. I have bad knees and a slipped disc. Cycling is a low-impact exercise for the whole body. I've already lost around 7kg from 75 to 67kg.

I think it takes me around 2 weeks to lose a kg. Dieting also helps. I try to eat less of everything. I only cycle a total of 15-20 mins every day with going up a little slope before reaching my workplace. Not much but I call that slope my "slope of hell'.

I'm working and only recently started cycling to parks that are around 20-40km away. The other day, my phone data didn't work halfway returning home and I got lost in an industrial park area. I used my directional instincts and read the road signs that were obscure.

I didn't think to restart my phone and only thought about it when I reached home. I guess when you're lost and almost on the brink of giving up, you forget what to do. That'll teach me. That's why I kinda like going out and not just sitting in front of my computer the whole day.

On my next bikepacking trip adventure, I'm bringing along my Nikon P950 camera. Since I'm not bringing my camera backpack, I can use my front handlebar bag to just bring the camera and two batteries along. The bag isn't that big and fits the camera nicely.

The reason I don't just bring my camera backpack is as I've said, I'm already carrying my water backpack and also, I'll be sweating a lot and I don't want to dirty it. The good thing is that the handlebar bag is also a sling bag and the back has a hard holder.

I'm thinking of getting the Insta360 ONE R 1-inch edition action camera. Because it has a 1-inch sensor and is also great for the low light setting. Well, that's what it says in the promotion. It'll be great to take videos and pictures while I'm cycling.

I might still bring along my Nikon P950 as it has the 83x optical zoom. Sometimes when I use my phone to take pictures, I always regret that I can't use the P950 zooming abilities. It's really cool to take a close-up of faraway subjects like a boat, birds, trees, etc.

On one of my trips to a small park, I took picture of an old tree. It's only after I took a closer look at the picture later that I realize there's actually a beautiful red feathers bird sitting on top of it. No wonder, I saw there were guys with their camera gears waiting around. Lol.
