Is High-End Gear Just a Status Symbol?
Personally, I don't see having high-end cycling gear, apparel, bags, and other accessories as what makes someone a professional riders. They can simply afford buying all of them which not all can afford. It's why I don't use all that to justify anyone as a pro cyclist.- Heatman

Elitism in Cycling
I think that this is not a problem I would ever worry about because I don't listen to such clique is what I call them. I don't need to have all the gears in the world to consider myself a cyclist. As long as anyone can afford the gear, a bike and all the accessories needed to successfully ride... -

A Brief History of Bicycle Engineering
We have come a very long way when it comes to trying our best to improve our technology. This is a very interesting and educative video. -

Strava Premium
Strava Premium offers a 30 days free trail for anyone who's not yet convinced if it's worth it. For me, it's definitely worth it to upgrade but I must say that it's a little bit expensive at $11.99 per month. -

Is the Cycling Community Becoming Too Divided?
No, I don't think the biking community is too divided. Using that work is too excessive in my opinion because the only thing I see is only the differences in goals and terrains bikers choose and not a full blown division. -

How's your weather today?
We are currently having August break which is a time in the southern regions of my country when there's a short dry period during the rainy season. The rain is going to come back within 2-3 weeks. -

Do you commute by bike?
It's definitely very risky to do that and I'm glad you know it. This is not about saving money on gas like most people thing but about being safe and alive in the end. E-bike might give you an edge but it's not totally safe either. -

Biggest cycling weakness?
Exactly! It's not even advisable cornering at speed with a car with all its balance, imagine how risky it is with bicycle? This is why I don't gamble with it at all for any reason whatsoever. -

Ever had to go?
It's going to be very embarrassing if it happens when you're on a bike 😂. Pooping is the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning. If my stomach isn't very good, I'll never head out to ride even though I have anti-diarrhea pills with me. -

Is Over-Maintenance Making Us Worse Riders?
It's just like they say, "Information is power" and those who deal in the information business makes so much money for it. This is why I will always consider YouTube as a goldmine because of the kind of information available on it for free. -

Is Over-Maintenance Making Us Worse Riders?
"YouTube University" got me cracking up so badly 😂 😂 but that's a fact. It's possible to learn how to do everything on YouTube. -

Washing your bike
It depends! If I'm riding regularly, it's going take me at least 1-2 weeks before I would wash my bike. Also, if it's raining season when everywhere is wet/muddy, I also wash/clean my chain within the same time frame. -

Do you commute by bike?
No, I don't go to work on my bike. Even if I want to, it's going be too much work for me because it's a bit far which is why I have to take a bus or drive myself. Maybe if my workplace is a little bit closer to my home, I'd easily consider taking my bike. -

Biggest cycling weakness?
Cornering is one of my biggest weakness when it comes to cycling. I used to freeze up on sharp turns if I'm on a high speed which is why I don't speed up too much lately as I fear a wipeout would happen at anytime. -

Ever had to go?
I haven't had a poop emergency but I do my best to plan ahead just in case because you can't cheat nature. What I do is scope out rest stops or gas stations on the route I'm taking just in case such emergency comes up. -

Quit Cycling?
Yeah, health comes before anything else because there's no way anyone can sideline their health to do anything else in form of leisure. It's why those who do it end up facing the consequences which is likely death. I've seen people drop dead from engaging in activities they shouldn't when... -

Ride every day
I wouldn't ride in the dark for any reason whatsoever. It's not really safe doing that. I can remember the last time I want for a run in the night, I almost got mugged. -

What type of cyclist are you?
It's the spot which I don't feel too much pressure on how I ride because it's very comfortable being in between. -

Shaving your legs
Yeah, laser removal is very expensive but it's worth it if you can afford it. My face is the last of my body area I would apply anything on because I will pay for it dearly. -
