WW 13/11/2013 : Firsts

1. First bicyle, 1981. I was about 2yrs old then. Didn't remember much, except that I like it very much.

Little me with my little bike.

2. First 'Racing' bicycle, 1992. I was in Form One. The bike was used as a transport to sports practise, afternoon classes and brass-band training. Also to nearby waterfalls with friends. :)

Bicycle Quote ( Pepatah Berbasikal )

"Sometimes we're so used to driving and cycling in the city, we forgot how meditative nature could be. Instead of fighting our way on the roads during peak hours against other pushy drivers trying to force their ways to urgent meetings, on the trails in the forest – one only fights with one's own breath, beliefs (it's a steep hill!) and stamina (pancit, pancit!).

No, no pushy KL drivers here. Or stopping at traffic lights.
The only pushing we do is our own two wheels, and the only stops is for catching breaths.

So come on guys, let's go immerse ourselves in the trails, and find out how small we really are." - Latfy Anuar Latif, a fellow rider from KL, oghe Kelate... :)
