After final considerations, it is still the Liv Langma Advanced 1. Hehehe. The plan was to drop by Tay Junction while enroute to the skatepark.
To make sure that I was ready to test out the new bike, I was even dressed up in the proper gear on Saturday morning.
There was a risk that the last piece of tye Langma bike was sold but lady luck was with us. We asked the sales if there was any other models to consider and he of course said that the Langma Advanced 1 was the most valued for money. I was easily convinced.
My mind was made up so very easily. Muahahahaha. Then it was a series of bike fit and tuning and I took whatever waiting time to entertain the kids and made sure that no expensive bikes were knocked over.
I did get a chance to have a little test ride for the fit before we left Tay Junction. Woohoo! The bike was so smooth.. my new love!
I made sure Daddy Lim secured the bike very securely on the rack.
We drove the bike all the way to ECP and I kept asking Daddy Lim to crawl on the road so as to keep my bike safe. Meanwhile, I kept looking at the side mirror to make sure that the bike was still there. The ride was so stressful.
The bike moved with us wherever we went, including to the skatepark. I parked Daddy Lim right next to the bike to keep it safe; the bike has a personal body guard leh. Hehehe.
I took another short test ride at ECP and it was indeed so smooth. I was actually more worried about going too fast than anything else. The brakes did take some getting used to. Daddy Lim also tested the Langma and was all praises.
The drive home was even more stressful given the long drive. Daddy Lim was so amusingly irritated at my constant reminder to drive slowly. Hahaha. Finally, the bike made it safely home. Bcos Daddy Lim's MTB was sent for servicing, my new love took the kitchen toilet spot; the only space in the house that we had to keep bikes. We had been joking that whoever's bike is more expensive could take the coveted spot. The toilet is now mine; my bike is $80 more expensive that his. Muahahaha.
I was so eager to bring my new love for a test ride even if it meant a solo ride bcos Daddy Lim's bike was out. The intention was originally to ride on PCN but I got so irritated at the crowd and the need to constantly bike. I am so WWF trained to ride on roads now. I eventually went on the road, my 1st attempt alone on the road.
Smooth, so smooth. I know I have said that so many times but I couldnt help it. I rode all the way to Pasir Panjang wholesale market and was half worried that I would get lost but I was safe and sound. I specifically took the usual group ride route back (Jurong Town Hall road), where there is this little climb. I hated that road and always curse and swear while riding and chasing the rest on my MTB. It was only when I am on a roadie did I realise that the route was literally no sweat for the roadies. No wonder the rest of the WWF gang was always breezing through while Daddy Lim and I huff and puff.
The ride was easy breezy. I could have gone further if I had more time and more confident. My other realisation was how lousy some parts of the Singapore roads were. On MTBs, we conveniently roll over potholes.
I probably needed more rides to get used to the bike. I havent found the ideal gear and couldnt get rid of some constant contact clicking sound from the bicycle chain. My left shoulder ache and so do my elbows after the ride. Daddy Lim said that I should use my cores (muscle) while riding instead of putting all my weight on my scrawny arms. My poor arms must must have complained that I had done that; my cores went for a long holiday since a long time back.
Overall, my new love is wonderful. I cant wait for the next WWF ride. I will then tell Daddy Lim how great my roadie is and inspired him to quit smoking so that he can get his too. Lalalalala.
