After having bought a Schwinn Mesa GX from a friend of mine about a year ago, I haven't had the opportunity to ride in and around Bangkok. Apparently there are a bunch trails around this area called Phra Pradaeng, but I haven't ridden there yet.

Last time Ben came to visit, he bought me a set of Crank Brothers Mallet C clipless pedals. Of course it took some time to install the clips on my shoes, since the hex tools I bought here were quite useless. The upside of these platform pedals is that I can use it street shoes.

I went for a quick ride, trying out the clips and getting a tour of my neighbourhood. At one moment, I didn't managed to unclip and fell right over in front of a car (that was thankfully going very slowly). I really need to get used to clipless pedals again, since it's been a long time, and it's quite embarassing to fall clipped in.
