Orbea Alma

This entry and its contents are updated whenever
there’s a change in the “item” being discussed 😉

Bike/post was last updated 2009.08.26

Because the post is too long to be re-read whenever
there are updates, each section has been date-stamped
(mm.dd.yy) – so you can skip right to the recent changes.

I noticed that while I’ve been posting about my biking experiences, I’ve never taken the time to talk about my bike itself in detail. 1 I have posted about parts I was planning to buy, and some specs here and there, but nothing in-depth (plus, I hardly get to cover the little details as much as I would want to) As such, I’ve decided to consolidate all my bike’s “details” into a single entry which I can update whenever applicable. This makes it easier as I just have to just point people who ask about my setup to a single URL and know that it will be fairly current.

I also will discuss my personal journey/process of how I picked every part of my bike in context of being a newbie myself – which could be useful for anyone who’s planning to get into the sport and have the same concerns/questions that I once had.

Training

So, as some of you know, I got bicycles for myself and Cris – and I’ve been teaching her how to ride. The goal is to be able to get Cris’ riding up to a level where she and I (and other friends) can join the Tour of the Fireflies next month.

We started yesterday at the AHS field where she was able to ride in a few hours. 1 Of course, mostly just keeping herself from falling. But still, she’s learning from an MTB which is much more difficult for a beginner’s bike At rate she’s going; she’ll definitely make it.

Oh, nakapikit pa! Joke lang 😉

Today was another day of riding for her; trying to ride straight and turn. But it was also my first day on riding with the cycling shoes I got. So both of us were in “student/training” mode a while ago. Read More

Bicycle, Bicycle

In case you didn’t get it, the title in should be in the tune of Queen’s Bicycle Race

Now that I’m officially done with my other major project (car), time to move on to the next one: Investing in a bicycle.

The funny thing is: I’ve been planning on getting a bike since last year, but have always been putting it off since I didn’t want to be riding a bike alone. Luckily my fellow Soulsearchers seem to be getting into it 1 Everyone wants a way to get/remain fit at our age Read More
