Getting Back To Cycling
August 6th 2008 -
I got back my tan line, from cycling. I don’t really like it though, because it means I can’t wear shorts or sleeveless and not show the line.

Which tan line are you? Mine looks like the 3rd one. ![]()
I did a long ride at Putrajaya last weekend. It was one of the longest rides I ever done so far. Not to mention I took a little break from cycling for a couple of months and just got back recently.
I have finally give clipless pedals a try. Well, for those who do not know, this is clipless shoes. Your shoes practically clips onto the pedals while you cycle which allows you to pedal in a full circular motion allowing you to push, and pull the pedals at the same time, compared to a normal platform pedals.


Also, finally got a women specific frame which fits me perfectly. It’s a Trek 2000 WSD. I do miss my blue one.

VC: Will do!
Darren: Haha… In fact I did. I unclipped the left feet and fall on the right side while still clip in. It happened few times already. Once it happened in front of the traffic light, there were cars at the back. That was so embarrassing!

Very nice, wish I could afford a bicycle and get back onto some riding and get myself slim again (Diet doesn’t work for me).
Used to own a Kona Custom Mountain Bike. Sigh … missed the bike terribly.

Michael: Diet alone without exercise does not work because the decrease in food intake causes the body to compensate by lowering your metabolism. So at the end of the day, you still need to exercise to increase/maintain your metabolism while maintaining/decreasing your food intake.
