Cycling


Cycling, this is one of my hobbies and this is my favorite.

There are reasons why people use bicycles.. Some use it for fun; some for good health, and some for alternative transportation. I am using bicycle for both of the three reasons. I use it for fun and actually I practice some tricks like the bunny hop and the manual. I also use it to exercise my body. And also, for transport, cycling to school or job is the best balanced way in terms of cheapness and fastness; except for the pollution you inhale during the trip and your haggardness as you come to your destination.

There are types of bicycles according to their use.

There are three common types of bicycles which are the ff.: BMX, MTB and the RB.

BMX or the Bicycle Motocross is the one used purely for tricks. But it's up to you if you want it for travel. To be described, it is small in size, the saddle (or the seat) is set very low, and it has no transmission.
MTB or the Mountain Bike, which is my favorite, is obviously for mountains. It can travel along rough roads without it being broken easily. Most of MTBs have shock absorbers for good comfort. This type can also be used for tricks.
RB or the Road Bike is for traveling and racing. It has the best speed among the bicycle types. It has the best aerodynamics and transmission. It is tall and thin.
I like the MTB the most. It can be used for travel (even in rough times), for tricks and for racing.







My Cycling Life


I have two pals joining me in my cycling, namely Joshua and Richard. We have good cycling trips. We appreciate the benefits of owning a bicycle. Every time we think of somewhere good to go to, we do not hesitate to go unless we have something more important to do. Cycling is good but using your brain is better. We tripped trips from cities to cities. Recently, we cycled all along from Manila to Antipolo. That's about 17 km of uphill cycling! With only one stop over, we sometimes almost give up cycling the lowest gear travelling nearly speedless. And we're not the ones almost giving up! Unfortunately we have not tuned are rides up.. I didn't notice that a piece of my ride(which is the sprocket) is not functioning well. This lead to a minor accident. At the speed of about 60 kmh,  my sprocket failed and  made my foot go straight to the road. My foot was dragged on the rough road bruising me and pushed my legs back that the chain wheel's teeth bitten my back legs. Well that's the cause of checking your ride before the trip. Our next trip would be from Manila to Laguna and it's about 40 Km in the express way but we will be cycling more 'cause bikes are not allowed in highways.


Thanks for reading. Pictures soon. My PC has some errors uploading pics.. :)

The Preface of my Book

I asked him to introduce himself and this is what I received in my e-mail.


"Hi!
Let's start with you, knowing about me.
   Wonder what the letters 'A' and 'J' stands for? My whole name is Adriel Joseph Alejandro Lopez. I stay in  Manila, Philippines and still, I'm a student. I study in the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, located inside the walls of Intramuros in Manila. I am taking the course BS Architecture. I'm a Bible Baptist Christian. That's the summary of my basic information.
 
Talking about my hobbies, I can say that I can be considered as jack of all trades. I am enjoying in multi-concept doings specifically in music, technology, sports, and even also in works usually known to be done by blue collar workers. In short, I'm not easily irritated with greesey, dusty, smelly works or what so ever. I can be compared with a cowboy and this would not match my profile picture. *laughs*  

Answering curious minds out there about the deeper info of my hobbies, in music, I play different kinds of (of course musical) instruments like piano, guitar, violin and whatever I want to learn because without any boastful feelings, my brain processes perfect pitch. I sing in a choir, I conduct a choir. My favorite genre in music is jazz, which I don't manage to master. But I'm good in classics, blues ballads and rock.

In the tech part, I'm updated in software developing. I'm fast in learning all bypasses in programs including the ones which are user-unfriendly. In terms of hardware, I'm not that updated, like on nanotechs. But I can fix your electric fan at home or even make your electric source hydro-powered! Seriously! I've researched about that.

In sports, I love cycling, running, and swimming. In a nutshell, I comply on a triathlon. Well that's all in sports. I enjoy working in markets (the wet ones). I've experienced selling coffee in one. Imagine that, starting 3am to 8, standing still, blending mixes, delivering them to stall owners, workers, and whoever wants it, then collecting payments in the afternoon, and still, I can manage to do my other hobbies 'till midnight. I'll tell you, when I'm happy, I don't know about being exhausted.

Done with hobbies, lets turn to the next page, the "Psychological Matters" (ten-tenenen!!)

I'm moody. You can never know what's inside me unless your a high grade psych or someone very close to me. Outside, I'm very joyful. I don't even let the sun set angry with someone. Try to frustrate me. I may loose temper but tomorrow or even later, you can feel like as if there's nothing happened. I'm kind. I don't impose favoritism, racism, or what so ever. But I'm not thoughtful so don't expect from me. I'm not good on letting out wealth for others. I'm greedy. I'm crazy for the things or ones I love, for example, my hobbies. I leave even important things beside just to be able to do them. Same thing with a woman. I am like a camouflage reptile. I can blend in with group of people having the same interests. Place me beside a battalion of gays and you would think I'm their queen bee.

With that you hopefully would not be confused on the things I'm doing.

I'm ready to vulgar personal knowledge about me. I'm a straight male but I enjoy being with homosexual people. There's nothing wrong with them except with themselves. lol. It's fun to be with them. For now, I'm thirsty for a woman's romantic love but I can't find the one who'll make me in love, only the ones who make my slacks a little tight. Haha! I don't have experience on courting a girl. (they just come xD) I'm still a virgin. Even my lips are. I'm not shy, afraid, nerd, gay, baog or something. I just feel that my greatest gift to my wife is my virginity and I demand her to give me that kind of gift also.. My taste? I like classic. I also like pure and simple things. Letting me choose a color, I'll choose plain white. That's applicable to all concepts when it comes to letting me choose, even for a girl. So contestants, start changing your apparels and styles!

Those are things about me. And reading this makes you understand what the hell I'm doing.
