Sure. If it is free and wearable. Thanks in advance.

I still love Aleoca, especially it is free.

First time hear people like to cycle on Aleoca bicycle, especiallly the budget models.

I have seen a few who get foot cramps cycling on it due to the poor ergonomics.

I will reconsider if it is worn before.

Hygiene reasons.

I won't wear second hand underwear.

I hope my aleoca or crius, if I ever buy it can help me to get a fling.

Then wait long long.

I know of some chiobus riding bicycles... Tyrell, Brompton, Tern etc. All are attached and ride very fast.

I think it is more realistically for Broadwalk to get a fling if he have a car or a motorbike.

tmr i maybe going for lscg ri do say hi, will be riding a Mini velo

Depends what they want to achieve with the bike too, I guess! Some sport fork rake angles that are more aggressive or have shorter wheelbases for tighter turning radius. Some have longer wheelbase for nicer cruising. Some also just want to be "special".

Then some also spec a long and low geometry that looks nice and aggressive, but majority of folks cannot tahan that kind of reach and end up using 40mm spacers (assuming road bike) just to be comfy on it, for a bike that's supposed to be their size.

nowadays the movement is towards short and high geometry, most riders are not pro nor have the flexibility thats why have to use tower stacker. for me, my bike abit big thats why never use spacer. I find low geometry bikes a little bit more stable.

unless its like cipo or something where the HT is super low.

Went for a ride via PCN this evening. Came across this cyclist infront of me who almost crush into a couple who is chatting away on the PCN while strolling and not paying attention to incoming traffic. Luckily, he manage to maneuver the bike and brush across them. Despite that, the uncle curse and swear at the cyclist, really jin cham.

Sometime I don't understand why these people like to walk on PCN when the pedestrian walkway is just beside it. If really suay suay crush into them, whose fault is it?

thats why i go pcn is like 20kph max, i cant predict the flow of traffic reliably dont wanna langga ppl also

About 500 difference.. Hehe

thats a huge difference, especially if it costs more than 50%

What poor ergonomics? I have seen a guy have back aches and shoulder pain riding on a specialized tarmac.

I was riding a urata and aleoca when I was in primary and secondary school and never encountered any pain. My bike was fitted correctly though. Read up about bike fitting and adjusted the bike till I was comfortable with it.

Just ride any bike. As long as it fits reasonably well, there should be no pain.

I am still hopeful. Just try my best. For helmet, I believe rarenick kindness and there's no need for a concern on this.

am a newbie who just brought a bicycle, and didn't ask what this is for, anyone can tell me what do they do? they have h and l which i think stands for high low.

thats the gear shifter,

left side controls the front pedalling thingy.


right side controls the rear cage thingy

pull upwards will make it harder to pedal aka can go faster and vice versa

 

[Coolsmurf]

didn't expect so quick answer.

so front pedaling means what. if i turn all the way to low means?

rear cage thingy means? all the way to low means?

if the rear is on low it generally means that the chain is on the smallest cog (which is the smallest ring on the block of cassette)

if front is low, it means that the pedalling thingy, the chain will be on the smallest ring

cyclist fault

some people also walk on roads.... aiya different folks different strokes.

 

[Coolsmurf]

so the speed will be slow if i turn to low all the way on both sides?

if the rear is on low it generally means that the chain is on the smallest cog (which is the smallest ring on the block of cassette)

if front is low, it means that the pedalling thingy, the chain will be on the smallest ring

No it's easiest to pedal when front is low and rear is on the big
Low low is also quite slow but not recommended cause of cross chain ring issues

anyway the dilemma is this:


if you ride slow ie: under 20kmh, on roads, bangla run across road, bang you, you fly off

but if you ride fast, above 35kmh, on roads....chances of bangla bang you is lower, and even if got contact, he fly off, you continue moving......

so is ride fast or slow

 

[Coolsmurf]

so i put the left one to full left, and right one to full high for easy pedaling?
