Any of you here ride a bicycle. Been riding a bike now for nearly 20 years and love it. Today I went for a ride around the rice paddies and saw the damage the heavy rains caused. Not only to the rice, but the melons, cucumbers and other vegetables.
I can go for a round trip of 6 hours on a Sunday, but I think this hot asia sun is starting to get to me a bit. Need to brings a bigger water bottle
I do like riding though I haven't done it for a couple of years. I was actually thinking about getting a bike next weekend as my son is old enough too sit in a childs seat on the back and he would really enjoy going out.
Also I need to get fit. All I do is sit around in an office all day!

Riding a bike with your child on it is fun. Used to put the daughter on the frame sideways and go to the library when she was 5. I now have an all terrain bike, maybe they are called city/mountain bike. Nice bike, cost under 300 bucks too!
I gave it a go a few years back but I couldn't adapt to sitting in the saddle! It was just too sore for me. I tried everything, cycle shorts, new saddle, nothing worked for me. Before I moved down to England I cycled from my house in Glasgow to Loch Lomond and had to phone my wife to come and get me halfway back; I could go no further!!!
Wasn't for me.

gosh mikey, that's not too cool
actually if you hang in there and go at it slowly I think over time you'll be a biker
heck I'm in my mid 50's and I can go 6 hours on bicycle, but recently the sun is a bit too hot for me, so I should say during peak summer , maybe now 3 hours

What are the temperatures like over there? I thought the climate was pretty temperate.

asian sun is very strong and deadly this time of year. It's not unusal to see all the leaves turn brown (trees) that are in potted plants. Really the sun beats down hard on you. I never really mind it, but these days it seems to have a penetrating force to it. You can just feel the rays go through your body
