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!

done! change new rockbros mountain bike mtb pedal bottle holder x-tiger pump

ROCKBROS Mountain Bike Pedals MTB Pedals Bicycle Pedals Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Platform Pedal with Removable Anti-Skid Nails for BMX/MTB Mountain Bike 9/16

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a new bike pedal, and bottle holder with a cool design and colors by the brand ROCKBROS. Also got an X-TIGER portable pump with a holder which is not that big and is light. It could be helpful when you're on the road in the middle of nowhere.

I also got some pedal bolts which doesn't fit my new bike pedal. Damn it. I thought they were all the same size. Okay, I was hoping they're the same size. Well, I might be able to use it on my road bike's new bike pedal. Yes, I also decided to get one for my road bike.

I don't have a road bike shoe. So, I didn't buy a road bike pedal with cleats. I got myself a normal kind of bike pedal. When I cycle, I mostly use it to go to work and visit nature parks. Wearing road bike shoes with cleats won't be suitable for me.

I might get one in the future though, just to feel what it's like. My bike is more for my transport rather than for sports. I do use it for maintaining a certain level kind of fitness. I have bad knees and a slipped disc. Cycling is a low-impact exercise for me.

Yesterday, I used my Java Veloce road bike to work and I think, every time I ride it really feels good. Especially, when I hold the drop. Also, I always feel the need for speed and to go faster when I'm on it. Doesn't feel the same when I'm riding my mountain bike.

The way I ride though is more of the reckless mountain biker. That's why a mountain bike is more suitable for me. Especially, when sometimes, I need to cut into grass and dirt road. Yeah, I've thought of the hybrid gravel bike. But, I feel more secure going off-road with a handlebar instead of the drop bar.

Again, who knows I might decide to get one in the future. I like cycling around the country to beautiful quiet beaches and cooling green nature. Listening to birds and bugs singing from everywhere around you. I used to be lazy and just hang around my house when not working. Not anymore.

Feel free to visit my youtube channel and check out some of the videos I took of places I've cycled to. I plan to go to more places in the near future. There are parks and places that are closer to my workplace that I can go to after work. Like the Japanese Cemetery park.

Cycling is really fun and changing some of the bike parts yourself is fun too. I'm always on the lookout for cool design bike parts. It makes my bike feel a little special. Of course, getting the look from strangers is fun too. I like when I stop at traffic lights and people eye my bike.

They'll be wondering where I get it. Most of them, I got online and from China. The bikes I bought are made in China but the Java brand road bike is a collaboration with an Italian design company. I like the design and the quality of the bikes. My RALEIGH brand is from England but made in China version.

my new red color dragon 45mm mountain bike mtb stem #shorts

Mountain Bike Handlebar Aluminum Alloy Short Handlebar Riser Ultra-Light MTB BMX DH FR XC AM Bicycle, Road Bike, Mountain Bike, and Bicycle Handlebar Accessories 31.8mm 35mm

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been planning to get a red handlebar and bike stem for my new Raleigh mountain bike and it finally arrived. I thought of using the original black bike stem that came with the bike but decided to change it too. Since I'm changing the handlebar, might as well.

I've been eyeing the red bike stem with the dragon for a while and since I've got myself a new bike, I decided to get it. I like my bike to look cool and different from other bikes out there. Guess, it's my personal preference.

I've been using the pro Honsun products brand and really like it. I think they're from Taiwan. I've been to Taiwan once during my military training. Really nice and friendly people. We were sitting around outside their house and they offered us food and water.

Anyway, back then I remembered they're known for their quality electronic parts worldwide. Kinda funny, buying bike parts makes me reminisce about the old days. Well anyway, I really like the design and quality of the pro Honsun brand.

While surveying the new handlebar I found there are new carbon materials and designs. I almost bought them but aren't sure about their quality and long-lasting ability. I don't want to ride halfway down a hill and suddenly snap the handlebar.

When going riding, I always remind myself that I'm old and don't want to get hurt unnecessarily. My two thumbs still hurt when I smashed them on a metal railing earlier part of the year. When you're old, your body might not be able to heal properly.

Right now, I'm waiting for my new bike pedal and other parts to arrive. Especially, my new bike pedal by ROCKBROS brand. I found one with a nice design and color that fits my Raleigh mountain bike. I also bought Schrader valve caps, bike pedal bolts, a bottle cage, and a portable bike pump.

I just ordered a bike frame chain guard. Frankly, back when I first got my first mountain bike, I wouldn't have done anything to it. It was already beautiful and I was surprised how good the gear was to be able to go up a grass hill. Now, it's kinda fun to be able to order parts and change them yourself.

Oh, I might want to change the handlebar grips too, one day. I guess at the moment, that should be it. I'll definitely take pictures, videos and blog about it when they arrive. Can't wait for the bike pedal to arrive. Another bike project for me to do. Lol!

done! my new Raleigh mountain bike mtb red color handlebar and stem

UPANBIKE MTB Mountain Bike Handlebar φ31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 720mm/780mm Riser Bar for MTB, BMX, Road Bike, Mountain Bike

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My red color handlebar and stem finally arrived on Friday and although at first, I thought of fitting it on Saturday evening after work, I decided to straight away do it. The good thing is that I managed to do it a little quicker with less problem than when I do it the first time around.

I guess experience does matter. When I did replacement parts on my foldable mountain bike, I had many problems as it was my first time and most of it is guesswork. But, I managed to settle it in the end. I don't really mind as it was a cheap bike. I'm now thinking of selling it off.



UPANBIKE MTB Mountain Bike Handlebar φ31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 720mm/780mm Riser Bar for MTB, BMX, Road Bike, Mountain Bike

I love my new Raleigh mountain bike. It's a budget bike but I love the design and it's definitely much lighter than my other mtb. I'm also not going crazy about replacing some of the parts as it's very much different or better. That's why at the moment, I just changed the handlebar and bike stem.

I chose red because I didn't want another colorful setup. Also, there's a little nice red art on the bike frame. I love the pro-Honsun design, and already know the quality of their product. Like the little dragon design on it. They're also pretty light.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might like a different color or design. There are plenty of them. In any case, I'm still thinking if I want to change the bike pedal. I think the one on my Raleigh mountain bike is the cheap type.

Okay, just another excuse for me to change it. I'm also going for red. I'm still looking around as I like the one with a little different and cool design. There's no point for me to change anything if there's nothing cool about the new parts.

I like going for long distance right either with my mountain bike or road bike. I think now, I'll prefer my road bike as it seems I can ride faster and further with it. Though, I also like riding long distance on my mountain bike too. Simply because a mtb is more flexible.

When I was a kid, I didn't really enjoy cycling. I didn't really use it. My dad bought me a 2nd hand bike that was to me really ugly. I think it was made up of parts that someone just scrap from other old bikes. I hate the handlebar and it has two different size tires.

I end up leaving the ugly bike lock-up in a rental public housing building. I came back after a while wondering if it's still there but it was gone. My 2nd bike was a mountain bike and it was much prettier in pink. It was so pretty a girl asked me if she could test ride it.

I only needed it to and fro to a friend house for our TKD aka tae kwon do training. I think it was in the early 90s and like how I can easily climb grass slope with it. After I finished school, and stop visiting my friend that I stop cycling and end up just giving the bike away. 

Now, several decades later, I'm back to cycling and loving it!

my new Raleigh x philip rl900 Mountain bike mtb #shorts

Accolmile 27.5" Electric Mountain Bike: ColaBear Adult Ebike with 8fun 48V 750W Mid Drive Motor & 17.5Ah Removable Lithium Battery & 860C Display, Shimano 8 Speed Gears

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was randomly checking out mountain bikes on an online store when I saw an offer for a new Raleigh X Philip RL900 mountain bike. After I asked a few questions about its gear speed upgrade from 27 to 30-speed, I decided to grab it as it's one of the last two available.

I've seen the Raleigh brand bikes before but not really into it. There aren't many designs that I like. Not particularly a fan of their logo on the bike fork. But, sometimes, the pictures don't really show off their beauty until you see them for yourself.

When I went to look at its online store again, it was sold out. I was already been thinking of getting a polygon brand bike that is selling at $600. It was on show at a bike shop where I had to send my foldable mountain bike for a new tire replacement.

Yes, my bike tire literally went out with a loud bang. It sounded like a freaking gunshot. Though, when I heard it, I wasn't really surprised. I think I had over-pumped it the day before. I'm not really sure what caused it though. It happens right after I went over a road bump.

I thought I might have cut the tire side but, there wasn't any sharp end. The side of the tire was ripped and I didn't really see the inner tube. I was lucky it happens near my workplace and there was a bike shop nearby. A colleague showed me the exact place.

I send over my bike during lunchtime and told the bike shop owner to change both the tires. He said mine was a cheap made-in-china type. I replied that I had cycled faraway distances for almost a year without any problem. Anyway, he showed me my new tires and I've been using them since.

The thing is, I felt more comfortable with my original tires and it seems wider than the one I have now. In fact, I'm still getting used to it and my confidence seems to have disappeared. I'm afraid to go down a small hill with it. But, I might one day. It doesn't seem too steep looking from below. Lol.

Anyway, they're building a new track slope near my workplace so I don't have to cut through grass anymore. If I chose to go to work on my road bike I don't have to make a big round too. I love riding to work on my mountain bike or my road bike. It's a good quick workout or rather a warmup.

I find that getting a mid-budget bike is pretty much good enough for a regular rider like me. I'm already too old to join any competition even if I'm interested. I got into riding again because I wanted to exercise and particularly to slim down my big belly. 

I still have a big belly but I've managed to lose some weight. I also got a little fitter and am able to cycle to faraway parks and nature reserves. I love cycling and enjoying nature and visiting beaches. Satisfied with my new bikes and learned how to maintain and changed parts.

Check out my new Raleigh X Philip RL900 mountain bike below:

I've stickers out my bike and some accessories that were included as free gifts. Already bought a new handlebar and stem. Can't wait for them to arrive and fix them on my Raleigh mountain bike. The handlebar is a little too low and hurt my back so I also bought a stem extender.

my new gold and white adidas superstar shoe #shorts

adidas Originals Men's Superstar Sneaker
Hey guys,

Check it out!

Most of the time, I don't like to wear shoes. I love using crocs. When I saw the ads for Adidas with the gold strip though, I said, "I want that!". For some reason, it's always not available. Either online or offline. Maybe, it's that popular.

I saw that the shoe is now available, of course, I quickly ordered it. Now, finally, I've got the shoe that I've always wanted. And, yes it's really nice and cool looking. I'm not sure why the Adidas stripe and the logo appeal to me. Lol.



adidas Originals Men's Superstar Sneaker

I bought my Adidas superstar online and after buying a couple of shoes, I now know what size I should really be choosing. Although, I believe it depends on your personal preferences. One rule is that you should buy a size that's a little bigger than your feet' measurement.

The first shoe I bought online, nearly killed me. It was so freaking tight. I had blisters all over my feet. I bought it for work. I sold it to my colleague who likes the design and it fits him to the T. Recently, I bought a hiking boot, and this time, I chose a little bigger.



Foxelli Men’s Hiking Boots – Waterproof Suede Leather Hiking Boots for Men, Breathable, Comfortable & Lightweight Hiking Shoes

When the boot arrives, it fits my feet snugly inside. The Adidas shoe is kinda a little tight but not as tight as the shoe that I've sold. I chose the same size as my hiking boot. I don't want it to be too big or loose or it'll look like I'm wearing a Macdonald's shoe.

I've tried loosening the shoe laces and it's much better. I think, the side of the shoe is brand new and it'll start to soften up in time. I'll only be wearing it for certain events when I need a nice shoe to wear. I've actually bought another Adidas NMD shoe which I'll be using more frequently. 



adidas Men's Questar Flow Nxt Running Shoe

I'm not going to go running as I have bad knees. Just needed a shoe when going out and about or cycling. I'm not cycling just for the sake of cycling. I cycle to parks and interesting places. That's why I don't buy cycling shoes. They're only good for err..cycling.

Another reason why I bought a hiking boot. I might cycle to a hiking place, park my bike and go hiking before returning back to cycle to another location or return home. I prefer to cycle rather than take public transport. I save around $80/mth just cycling to and fro from home to work and vice versa.

I also bought an Adidas bag, t-shirt and sweat pants. Yup, I went on an Adidas shopping crazy!
