It has been a while. Quiet but not without activities. It's just managing priorities. My love for cycling is still intact, in fact its expanded a little bit. Recently I bought a foldie bike for my son. To be honest, i was never a fan for folding bike or any bicycle permutations. Don't know if this is the right word, but yeah I am old fashion in that sense. It's either a roadbike or a mountain bike.

Bicycle has been here long time ago and the history is a little muddled. The concept was probably invented in 1418 when Giovanni Fontana built the first human powered land vehicle which had four wheels and used an endless rope connected via gears to the wheels. As a product like bicycle develops over a long period of time new technology becomes available. This lead to changes in the way the product looks, its mechanical efficiency and design features to the consumers. To keep ahead of the game bicycle makers always look for modern technology to innovate and apply them to bicycle design.

The weather was fantastic, it drizzled for a while at around 9am but mostly bright and sunny until noon.

The Selangor river at Kuala Kubu Baru is about 1 and a half hour drive away from KL City. It offers the best and ideal place for commercial White Water Rafting. With distance of 7 km, the river boasts a rapid of Grade 1 to Grade 5. The water level however is very dependent on the weather  and controlled by a near by dam.

I’ve done this before back when I was still in secondary school. Back then we built our own raft with odd stuffs like banana blocks tied together with rubber bladders or tubes from truck tires and cars as well. The raft was pretty solid but had their limitations. Let’s just say that we usually ended up using the bladders or tubes as PLDs (Personal Floating Device) after running through few rapids.
