Night Ride on 14 May 2011 (10th moon)
On 14 May, only me and Teo register for the ride and at 740pm, we start the ride as the darkness start to fall and covered the day. Weather is very good with 3/4 size moon can be clearly seen on the sky but no stars escorting her.
Round Penang Round Island (10th moon) 14 May 2011
With me is only Teo from Sungai Ara, a regular rider, join this time ride. We start about 7.45 from Puspakom Teluk Kumbar. Weather is fine and the moon shows herself with a 3/4 smile on the face of the sky with no star appear with her. Haze makes the moon blurr but her shine is still ok.
A story in contrast to the beautiful sceneries and exotic places...
A BIKE RIDE TO CHERNOBYL
Travel mobility
Carrying our bicycle with us on business trips so that we can be totally mobile and stay in quieter and cheaper places, away from the vulgar masses, is a great idea !! Read the following blog by an API reporter...
We were guys staying at the same hotel with our mistresses.
Who invented bicycle?
Who invented bicycle? Da Vincci? Wrong!
Xu Quan Long on his 'recreation' Lu Ban's supposed wooden cycle, attracting suspicious looks from passers-byAcademic Xu Quan Long has taken his bizarre contraption to the streets of Beijing to show people his discovery - which has raised more than a few eyebrows with other road users.
China's 'robot dad'
China's 'robot dad'
BEIJING - WU YULU, a 49 year old farmer from the outskirts of Beijing, has become a household name in China for his homemade robots. Now, the creations that he calls his children are about to gain international renown.
Made from scrap materials including wire and screws, Wu has invented over 47 robots which can pour tea, offer smokers a light and paint pictures.
Cycling helps me fight cancer
 David says his hobby gives him a sense of purpose
|
Four years ago, doctors gave David Hillier just two years to live after diagnosing him with advanced prostate cancer.
Determined to fight the disease, David was willing to explore every radical and experimental treatment.
Real cycling?
Are you a real cyclist?
Real cycling is not about gear ratios. Or wearing lycra the colour of rainforest toads. Or pedalling to the country pub in the sun, then getting a taxi back because it's dark and raining.
No.
Real cycling is fixing your second puncture on a windy night.
It's buying a three-metre curtain pole, then realising you have to bike it home like a medieval jouster.
It's crunching your way to work through thick snow, arriving half an hour late icy-toed and white-fingered – to find everyone else has taken the day off because their cars wouldn't start.
Marriage on two
A Bridegroom carries his bride on a bicycle on a street in Liuzhou, southwest China´s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Jan. 20, 2010. The newly-married couple held a bicycle wedding accompanied by more than 30 cyclist friends of the bridegroom in Liuzhou on Wednesday.
Interesting device
Travelling Two - a couple who've done more of their own fair share of bicycle touring and whose very impressive website can be accessed here did a review on 3 peeing devices a last week. No - you're not reading that incorrectly. I did indeed say PEEING DEVICES.
Helmet - a must
a friend sent me this artice from BBC news. even NZ police feels that you need to wear a helmet while riding.
the story here : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8427624.stm
have fun reading.

Spirit of a bicycle repairer...
Amazing story of a man in China who refuses to give in to his handicap....
Amphibious bicycle ?
Don’t know what you were expecting, but this is not some high-tech, revolutionary vehicle. It’s just an interesting home-made amphibious bicycle.
Li Weiguo is the man who designed and built this floating bicycle, and the girl riding it in the photos is his daughter Li Jin. His amphibious bicycle has eight water buckets that act as pontoons and adjustable vane wheels that provide the driving power. It might not look as good as other custom made bikes, but at least you can ride it on water and land alike, and that’s the whole point.
The amphibious bike was presented on May 30 2009, in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
Pedal power for homeless
Photo via Flickr
The bicycle is an amazing technological innovation, and creative people never seem to run out of amazing ways to use it. While the riders in the Tour de France are now using their bikes to descend mountain passes at speeds in excess of 60 mph, others are using bikes for more practical and charitable purposes. Case in point: The Chattanooga Community Kitchen and Outdoor Chattanooga have joined to give the homeless some pedal power.
Dr Hon of Dahon
The Dahon story begins in 1975. At the time, Dr. David Hon, our founder, was a physicist at Hughes Aircraft Corporation, in Ca
lifornia, working on highly classified government research projects. Considered a leading expert in solid-state laser technology, Dr. Hon had already been awarded numerous U.S.
Hobby to obsession
Hobby turns into obsession
For some, cycling is just a hobby. But for others like Bahana Patria Gupta, cycling has become an obsession.
Just for laughs !
Funny, have a good laugh !
Brings tears to the cyclists' eyes
Next, we have the water hazard
24 karat plated !
I realize that blogging about 24 karat plated, crystal adorned bicycles during the United States present economic climate is nothing short of obnoxious. But it doesn't detract from the perverse fascination I have for these sort of luxury items. And this one is a doozy.
Chinese Still Bike for Life, Not Sport
BEIJING -- In a country chock-full of bicycles -- and a contingent of top athletes – some are asking: where are China's cyclists?

Refurbish classic bicycles
Love and passion, rather than return on investment, inspired Sumone Khoosuwan, the managing director of Khookhum graphic design studio, to set up her classic bicycle refurbishment business, the Rebiker, Ride with Style, about a year ago.
Ms Sumone shows off one of the retro-look bicycles in which her company specialises.
"The profit is very small but I'm very happy every time I work on a bicycle. It's really good when you see people love your work too," she said.
Bypassed heart bypass !
One of the Betong(Thailand) riders that came to Penang recently was supposed to go for a heart bypass but after taking up rigorous riding he was cleared and given a clean bill of health ! Apparently he rides an average 60-70km a day !
If you go to Betong around 4-5pm, very likely you will bump into him. He hangs around Ming's bicycle shop waiting for kaki to ride....

Steven Chu cycles to work
