We are into Cycling

I am not very sure how and when. Suddently, I decided to go into cycling. Yap, it was just like that. I have a few friends that are already into cycling like Akula Matiau and Azahari. I had no interest in cycling while I was in Geneva a few years ago. I didn't see it interesting. 

Cycling is not like riding superbike because I'll be the only one riding it - the seat is for one anyway :P This time is with my wife. The main reason why I'm into cycling is because I want to exercise. At least to maintain my weight under 70 kg and to keep my waist below 32 inches...haha.



We spent about two weeks searching for suitable bikes and of course the bikes that are within our budget. It's quite hard for a people like me that knows nothing about cycling - what bike, what gears, prices, brands, types of bikes etc. Majority of the existing websites say nothing about these basic things. They are more interested on jamborees and cycling events. Sellers or shops are dare to publish their prices on the website. We looked on the internet and saw a few bicycle shops around KL. We went one by one looking at the various models and prices, from as low as RM2,000 to RM30,000's bikes. RM30,000 tengok ajer ler.

We managed to find bikes within our budget after two weeks of searching. For the cycling gears, problem solved because I've ordered them from UK. I tried to buy them from Malaysia but the prices sometimes very unreasonable. They are 30%-40% cheaper in UK. Now, we are in!

Ingin mengembara ke Switzerland?

Pemandangan Switzerland dari langit Switzerland memang menjadi idaman para pelancong dan pengembara. Cantik dengan gunung-ganang, tasik, dan bandar yang kaya dengan sejarah. Switzerland bukan sahaja popular dengan cokelat, keju dan jam, tetapi juga menjadi lokasi penggambaran filem-filem hebat dar luar -- Sangam; The Sound of Music; James Bond; Diwale; Crash Landing on You; video clip lagu " Jackpot " oleh Bastian Baker dan banyak lagi!! Saya nak berkongsi dengan pembaca agar tulisan ini dapat menjadi panduan sebelum menjejakkan kaki ke Switzerland. Saya banyak menerima pertanyaan dari rakan-rakan mengenai Switzerland. Terutamanya rakan-rakan di Malaysia. Soalan-soalan di bawah ni memang cukup popular: (1) Apakah tempat menarik yang harus saya lawati di Switzerland? (2) Bagaimana dengan penginapan? hotel di sana mahal atau tak? (3) Bagaimana cara mudah hendak ke Switzerland, melalui London? Paris? atau Amsterdam? (4) Bagaimana hendak bergerak dari satu tempat k...

Kembara 7 malam dengan Motorhome di Switzerland berbaloi tak?

Sebenarnya hasrat nak mengembara dengan campervan atau motorhome dah lama. Dari kali pertama di Geneva dulu pada tahun 2008-2010, nak cuba tapi asyik bertangguh. Trip kali ni memang agak teruja sebab ia satu pengalaman baharu, sebelum ini pengembaraan banyak dengan kereta atau kapal terbang. Jadi kami putuskan mengapa kali ni tak cuba mengembara dengan motorhome? Mengembara dengan motorhome kena buat perancangan rapi dan tempahan kena buat lebih awal terutamanya kalau mengembara pada musim panas sebab permintaan untuk kenderaan motorhome agak tinggi. Dalam bulan Mei sebelum cuti musim panas bulan Ogos, saya buat perancangan dengan mencari syarikat-syarikat sewa motorhome secara online, cari syarikat sewa motorhome yang berdekatan dengan Geneva supaya senang untuk ambil dan hantar motorhome kelak.  Perancangan kitaorang lebih kurang macam ni: Pertama : Dengan ahli keluarga seramai lima orang, saya bandingkan kos sewa hotel dengan sewa motorhome dan kos-kos lain. Kami dengan ahli kel...

Jelajah Andalusia Sepanyol - Cordoba

Cordoba is situated 160km on the northside of Malaga or one hour and 45 minutes drive from Malaga via A45 highway.   It was conquered by invading Islamic armies in the eighth century, and then became the capital of the Islamic Emirate and then Caliphate of Córdoba, including most of the Iberian Peninsula.  U nder the rule of Caliph Al Hakam II, Cordoba had also become a centre for education under its Islamic rulers. Al Hakam II opened many libraries in addition to the many medical schools and universities which existed at this time. During these centuries Córdoba became a predominantly Muslim society with minorities living in a restricted second-class status. It returned to Christian rule in 1236, during the Reconquista. Córdoba has the second largest Old town in Europe, the largest urban area in the world declared World Heritage by UNESCO. The most important building and symbol of the city, the Great Mosque of Córdoba and current cathedral, alongside the Roma...
