Fox Racing Bike-Helmets Speedframe MIPS Helmet

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love going out cycling and taking photos of places I visit. Most of the time the weather is hot and I prefer wearing a bike helmet with visors. Another reason is that I have myopia. But, I finally got myself a cycling sunglass with a myopia frame.

Now I can wear different types of cool-design mountain bike helmets and my cycling sunglasses. I can also interchange the glasses' lens color. Once in a while, I like checking out any new bike helmet design but there aren't many though as they all almost look the same.

That's what kinda puzzles me. Most bike or helmet designs are boring. I'll love it if they have some popular and colorful anime designs. I'm pretty sure they can get a good artist to draw for them. Maybe do a special limited version.

Most bike helmets though only have generic designs. A whole color with simple lines or a company logo. Pretty standard. Though, I've been eyeing one or two bike helmets that have a camo design. I end up just getting one by batfox.

If you're into night cycling, you might want to get led lighting and put it at the back of your helmet. Get extra and put it outside your backpack too. It's always good to make yourself visible especially in a low-lit area. I don't really like cycling at night as you can't see much.

The other day, I tried to cycle to a reservoir park hoping to catch the sunsets after work but I had a problem with the magene sensors and end up arriving late. I brought my Nikon P950 camera so, I decided what the heck, might as well I tried out night photography.

Wearing a bike helmet is good for safety. I've heard of bike accidents and people getting knocked on the head. Back in the day, we don't wear them. Recently, when I started to cycle again, I see almost everyone wearing them, so I joined in too.

Those who ride e-bikes need to wear them as they're not allowed to be ridden on the footpath. There's been a spike in bike accidents that causes death. Your bike is not easily seen so it's always good to be careful and don't expect everyone to give you the right of way.

I already have a couple of bike helmets that I like. Though, I'm still looking around if there's any other cool design bike helmet. Like I've said, I love cycling and taking photography. I still haven't tested out my new Nikon z fc. It'll be fun to cycle again after I'm clear of the covid.

I also haven't used my new bike helmet. But, I've put led light at the back and also on my backpack. I'm just waiting for the right time to go cycling again. It's been raining for couple of weeks now with a day or two of hot weather. I'm not in a hurry anwyay.

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I had planned to go to a reservoir park after work to try to get some sunset pictures either with my iPhone, Samsung S22+, or my Nikon Coolpix P950 camera. I was hoping to finally use the magene cadence, speed, and heart rate sensor but having a problem re-connecting them.

I also had a problem putting the speed sensor on my Raleigh mountain bike's rear wheel. That damn rubber and the spoke blocking my hands. I was in a hurry trying to get everything ready but end up not using them except for the heart rate sensor which I thought was working.

I only realize when I reached home later that the heart rate sensor disconnected leaving me frustrated with no data of any kind. Even my magene c406 bike computer keep pausing and not recording. I had to manually re-press the record button while cycling.

It's kinda weird that it records correctly the route that I took but the data is all wrong. I didn't have the proper speed or cadence. I'm wondering if it's because I connected my speed and cadence sensor but I didn't put it on the bike. That's why it's all wrong.

I need to do a proper test of the bike computer and the sensors to see how it really works. I was in a hurry yesterday because I'm only able to go cycling after work and thought, I have prepared everything earlier. Also, I've only just received my magene heart rate sensor.

Well, I went ahead and did a quick check, re-setup of my HR aka heart rate sensor, and this time I bind it to the bike computer. I also edit and customized its first page to show my latest heart bpm. I think yesterday, I didn't bind it to the bike computer that's why it doesn't work properly.

I thought, I just need to connect it to the iPhone app and it'll all work out. Such a waste. Yesterday's ride was a little tough with a lot of little slopes. It'll be interesting to have a read of my maximum bpm. Guess, I can do a proper sensor test next Sat or Sunday.

I'm not a health freak but I'm beginning to have fun using all these sensors to see how I'm doing. Of course, my data won't be as good as the young and pro athletes but still knowing how you level up with them is interesting, to say the least.

I'm even feeling muscle growth in my legs. But, I really need to do more exercise for my bloody tummy. It seems to get bigger and wider no matter what I do. Anyway, yesterday I learn a new cycling route. I won't need to see Google Maps reach there again.

By the way, check out some of these pics taken with my Nikon Coolpix P950. You can use it for night photography, but you'll need to save it in raw and edit it later. I was lazy so I just use jpeg. But, later I edit the brightness and contrast to make it as bright and sharp as my iPhone.

The two pictures above were taken with my iPhone 13 camera. It's actually way better than my Nikon Coolpix p950. Which isn't as bright and clear as this. The iPhone camera definitely has a better processor but the p950 has good long-range zoom capabilities.

I love cycling and I also love taking pictures of places I visit. I don't just bring my P950 but my GoPro Hero 10 and of course my phones. Each of them suits certain situations of how I want to go about taking pictures and videos. Subscribe to my blog and youtube channel to join my latest adventures!

done! change new road bike R87 Titanium promend pedals #shorts

ROCKBROS Advanced 4 Bearings Mountain Bike Pedals Platform Bicycle Flat Alloy Pedals 9/16"

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My new PROMEND R87 titanium road bike pedals arrived and I immediately go to work fitting them to my Java Veloce road bike. Yes, I know, it's not the road bike pedal with cleats. As I've explained in my last blog post, I don't have road bike shoes and I mostly cycle to nature parks and beaches.

I like visiting those places and taking pictures. Walking around in a road bike shoe with cleats won't be practical. I don't even like wearing those road cycling shirts and shorts. Though, I'm thinking of trying it out maybe in the future. Check out some of the places I've been to in this video.

Well, I tested my new pedal on my Java Veloce road bike and it actually feels good. It's a little smaller than a mountain bike version. On my commute to work, there is a lot of stops so, wearing shoes with cleats would be troublesome.

I also don't ride on the roadside but on the pathway. So, it's a slow ride having to navigate through people hogging the path. Traffic in the morning is heavy and the road isn't smooth on the side. There are cracks everywhere. I'm afraid of slipping and falling where cars might run you over.

Once in a while, usually in the evening, the road and pathway are clear and I'm able to go fast. In fact, yesterday I was able to go a little bit faster. But, I was afraid of making a mistake as it's not a smooth pathway with many metal grating and little holes.

I have fallen from my road bike before that's why I'm careful when riding on bad or slippery surfaces. Unless it's an empty road or cycling lane that's clear of other cyclists or people. Then, it's a joy to ride and go for speed. So far, I'm happy with my new road bike pedals.

I'm also starting to learn and enjoy using the magene c406 bike computer. I didn't understand how to use it at first. On my last cycling trip I was fed up not being able to link it that I decided to use the Strava app on my iPhone 13 instead. 

It's only now I realized that I've made a mistake and using the wrong app. I thought, I already bound it to the magene app at first but because I haven't been using it, I forgot. I know now how to start recording, save it and upload it to the magene and Strava app.

I'm not a professional or even an amateur cyclist. More of a hobbyist. I don't do any kind of training except cycling to work and home. But, using a bike computer and using the Strava app to check my daily stats is actually kinda nifty and fun.

I didn't think I want to at first but now I want to know my heart rate data. That's why I decided to get the magene H64 heart rate monitors. It'll be interesting to know my heart rate reading, especially when going up the "little slope of hell". Cycling is way fun!

my new magene c406 gps bike computer speed cadence sensors and accessories

Magene C406 Bike Computer with Holder, Waterproof GPS Cycling Computer, Wireless Smart Road Bicycle Monitor, 2.5 Inch LCD Screen

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a better bike computer for my Java Veloce road bike. Not saying that my 'old' cheap speedometer isn't good. But, the magene c406 offers more data than I ever wish for. You can watch the #shorts video of my cheap speedometer here.

Yes. After thinking of going for the Xoss G+ bike computer, I decided to instead go for the Magene C406. I watched a youtube video where the guy compared both of them and I thought the bigger screen and ability to see more data analytics would be better (for me).

I might not be a pro cyclist but I like the idea of being able to see more data on screen and later on analytics of my performances. I'm also not saying the C406 is better than the Xoss G+. It's a personal preference. Some might prefer the smaller size Xoss. 

In the beginning, all I wanted to know was how fast I was going or able to go on my bike. That's why I bought the cheaper type. After a while of cycling, I'm now interested to know more about my cycling ability. One thing, I know now is that I can go the distance.

I think cycling every day to work actually helps me maintain my leg strength and stamina. Although, it's just a short distance. Because of the difference in gradients, going to work takes a little more work than going home. I didn't know it at first though.

I was a little afraid at first to go further and didn't want to end up poops out in the middle of nowhere. I waited until there was a long weekend holiday to try it out. Surprisingly, I managed to go way over 100km and didn't even feel that tired.

As I've said, I'm not a professional cyclist, and joining the competition. Pretty much doing it for leisure. I also have a slipped disc and bad knees. I'm also not that young. I'm not planning to go all out and hurt myself while cycling. There have been too many bike accidents lately involving old gen cyclists.

If I hurt myself, I'm not going to have any kind of medical support unlike the pros do. I don't think in my old age, I could heal better or much faster. Just a reminder to myself and those old gen cyclists. I heard one of my old ex-colleague was involved in a cycling accident and bed-ridden in hospital. 



Magene P325CS Crankset with Rechargeable Power Meter for Cycling, Dual Side Crank Based Bike Power Meter Power Sensor

I decided to go for the Magene C406 packaged with two sensors. One for speed and the other one for cadence. I didn't know anything about the power meters until I saw the Magene P325CS crankset with a rechargeable power meter.

You can still know your average power on the C406 screen. You can choose between 3 screen setups. I'm not sure how you can change it but at the moment, I just use the right button to switch between them. I prefer one with the time but it doesn't show other data that I wanted at a glance.

Check out my new Magene C406 road bike computer pics below:

I've only downloaded the apps Onelap and link with Strava. Link and bind the sensors etc. You should definitely read and follow the simple instructions included. I did one funny thing putting on the casing the back to front. No wonder the button was on the wrong side. Silly me.

Can't wait to try the bike computer with the two sensors!
