My colleagues at the uni has a new craze right now: cycling. It's a massive craze that they have many cycling activities going on for months now which is quite astonishing. From the 40-km ride that they had earlier this year, to the one climbing up the hill which saw not many people to conquer (coz most are ...ehem.. big size!) and even cause injury, to the jamboree with the gathering of various cyclists throughout the country. Truly, this is a huge craze. Nevertheless, I think cycling is an awesome sport coz not only your stamina is tested, but it's a great exercise to the lower body section too. Don't believe me? Then ride a bike now and go up a hill... then you probably have a good idea of what I mean!
A friend of mine, H, keep on asking me when am I gonna buy a bike? Coz apprently he recently bought one though his cycling is only limited to his neighborhood area. I asked how much he has to pay to get a good bike. It's a cracking RM2700! (almost £600) Just for a bike, are you kidding me? I'd rather buy another iPad2 for that price! Then I can download any cyling app, so that I won't have to ride an actual one, ahaks!
I know back there in London cycling is also a big thing. They even have a special bicycle lane on the side of the road coz so many people like the idea of healthy living and going green. The Mayor Boris Johnson is a keen cyclist, and even chase a thug one time with his bike. David Cameron also always cycle to work, prior his job as a Prime Minister (now he wouldn't have to do it anymore, right... coz his office is right down the house at No. 10!). And I heard you can also find huge number of bike in Holland as well as in the worl'd most-populated city, China.
Btw, if you're not a keen cyclist or the one who think spending RM2700 for just a piece of two-wheel, you might wanna get this bike instead. Cost very less (and size very small), it's the bicycle cufflinks from Paul Smith in black enameled metal, and Shanghai Tang in silver. These one for sure will 'ride' on your cuff in style. And the best part - you won't have to worry about the punctured tyre!
