Kuala Lumpur Cycling Trip


Well, yesterday I cycled to KL ( Kinda unplanned as I brought nothing with me, not even water )

It's started when I cycled to Sunway to watch movie with Brandon and Jaryl, end up not watching because the movie is not my taste ( Step Up 3D =X ). Then I met, Man Yi, Cheok, Darren, Jeremy,J.Wern and Wei Sheng which apparently watching the same movie ....while they are waiting for their movie to start, I have lunch with them =D.

After that, I decided to cycle to KL since I was bored and have nothing to do. I took the Pantai Baru Highway before linking to Old Klang Road to reach to KL, took me 45 minutes to reach KL Then a sudden heavy rain cause me to seek shelter for almost 1 hour near the now demolished old Pudu Jail . Here's some picture I took when I was seeking shelter.

After the rain had stopped, I resume my journey to KLCC which took about 10 minutes from where I took shelter from . Suddenly, I ran over a fallen small tree branch and lose control of the bike. Luckily I fell over on the pavement and my gloves prevent any serious injury. I only had minor bruises on my arm and knee.  There's a minor damage to the bike frame and the gearbox. I guess it's not a huge deal and move on.

Here's some pictures I took when I reached there.

(Seams to be a book fair at the Convention Center, would have visited it if the rain did not delay me by 1 hour)


Later, It's time to cycle home. About halfway across the journey , my gearbox giving some weird noises before finally snaps 90 degree towards the rims which cause it to jammed. I was unable to move the bike at all and was force to end my journey at the Petaling KTM Station and call my dad for a pickup.
