Venzo Comfortable Bike Bicycle Saddle Seat - for MTB, Road, Exercise, Trekking, Folding, Hybrid & Cruiser Bikes - XC Saddle Seat

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I got myself a new bike seat for my new mountain bike that I ordered last week. It hasn't arrived yet. But, I already bought some new parts that I will be changing. I love to customize my bike with parts that have better design and style. I don't really care for brands with generic boring designs.

The one that I bought was the last in stock. It will fit in nicely with the red color theme of my new bike. I don't have the big money to buy those expensive bikes. Though it's a budget bike, still looks cool and has full suspension, front and back.

I can't wait for my new mountain bike to arrive. At the same time, I feel kinda sad to sell my over-a-year Raleigh bike. It's a good budget bike but I needed to save cash and space. Guess, it's time for a change in 2024. I actually also bought myself a new Fixie bike. 

I'm beginning to love riding a fixie. I didn't think I could ride far on a single-speed bike but I did. Went up a couple of slopes with no problem. And, I have bad knees. I don't want to hurt my knees further, especially at my age now. I've fallen a couple of times and parts of my body still hurt a year later.

Cycling is fun and helps improve your health. I cycle to work every day and always dread having to cycle over a little slope before reaching my workplace. But, I think even though it's just a short distance it helps my overall fitness. To the point that I needed to rest my legs.

I'm already feeling some strains on my thigh. Once in a while, I'll feel a little sharp pain in my left knee. My right knee seems to be getting better. Riding a single-speed bike does put some stress on your knees too. As you're always cycling without stopping and when going up steep slopes.

Nowadays, there are many good bike seats much more bigger and comfortable. Pretty much depends on your preferences. For long-distance riders, having a good bike seat is important. Having more cushion or if you prefer thinner than you can always wear cycling shorts with pads. 

You don't want to wake up tomorrow after a long ride with a sore bum. Most experienced riders will know what I'm talking about. I'm not a pro cycling nor even an amateur. I'm just a leisure cyclist. I like to cycle to places with nice views so I can take nice pictures with my camera or mobile phone.

I'm a leisurely cyclist but I still need a good bike seat because it will get uncomfortable for long distances. That's why even with a good bike seat, I still wear cycling shorts with a pad. A pro cyclist who cycles long distances every day would have a better seat and cycling shorts.

You have to sort out yourself which type of bike seat you prefer. It doesn't matter if it's just a short distance away but if you're going to be cycling for hours you better get it right. With so many choices available in the market today. You definitely can find the right one for yourself.

a nice day ride on my new fixie fixed gear single speed bike #fixie

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I didn't plan to go out cycling yesterday as the weather forecast says, it gonna rain the whole day. Well, it did rain in the morning but then it got sunny. I decided to take the chance and went out cycling on my new fixie aka fixed gear, single-speed bike.

It was a little cloudy but with a bit of nice blue sky. A little hot but just enough to have a good ride out. It did rain in the evening but I was lucky to be home by then. I'm a little surprised cycling on my fixed-gear bike. Thinking, it will be a bit tough with just a single gear. Boy, was I wrong!

I went on my usual cycling route, stopping at my usual places. Some certain bridges and areas have been worked on. There's a part where it's supposed to be a straight route but turns out I had to climb a little steep slope. Didn't think, I would be able to climb on my fixie but I actually did.

I have bad knees, so naturally, I was hesitant to do any hard climbing. I did wear a knee guard for my left knee. That's what is so surprising. My first thought was that, since I cycled to work and always had to pass my little 'slope of hell' every day, I inadvertently trained myself, enough.

Cycling to work every day has helped me maintain some level of fitness. Cycling is basically the only exercise I do. lol. Although the distance was short, I always had to huff and puff near the end because of my little 'slope of hell'. Also came with the price of having a strained hamstring and knees.

Cycling is supposed to be a low-impact exercise, especially for the knees but it seems to make my knees worse. A couple of weeks ago, I couldn't ride my bike much less walk because it hurts. The knee joints rubbing against each other. Thankfully, it got better after I used medicated oil daily on it.

I also decided to buy some vitamins that actually help maintain my knees better. Sometimes, if I forget to take them, I can feel my knees starting to hurt again. Now, I realize that knee joint vitamins do help make them better. So, I try to take them daily.

I love my Apple Watch Ultra and iPhone health app. Now, I'm not walking, hiking, or riding blind. I know so far my highest heart rate was 157BPM. Yesterday, my overall cycling distance was 23.9km. I did have a couple of stops and didn't really push myself except for some of those slopes.

I really had a fun day cycling on my new fixie that I've mod myself. I changed new wheelsets, handlebars, pedals, cranksets, bike stems, etc. To finally be able to ride it was an awesome feeling. I'm glad, I decided to go out cycling. Cycling always makes me happy and alive!

Check out some of my fixie pics below:

Riding a fixie is really fun!

Another reason I think that I could actually climb slopes is because of the fixed gear. Which is directly connected to the crankset and to the wheelsets. I can feel the strong tire gripping the ground. Of course, it helps that my knees didn't buckle. Though, I did feel a little strained near the end of my ride. 

For the life of me, I still can't do a skid on my fixie. I'm afraid to stand up because of my bad knees. I need to ride more on my fixie before I start to learn to do some simple skills. I'm still a fixie newbie. Still learning about my new bike. One thing is for sure, a fixie is really a cool bike to ride!
