Universal Tag-A-Long Trailer Bike

I dropped by Juara Bikes in Subang Perdana for a tube few weeks ago and ended up with Universal Tag-A-Long trailer bike.  It was rather impromptu decision to buy it but I hold no regret.  At RM100 for a used item like that, it was a real bargain.  Comparatively, check out this online offer from Universal Cycles.

Fixing it to the seatpost is simple however it needs to tighten firmly or the clamp may scratch the seatpost shall it twist under pressure.

Verdict
Fully satisfied due to: -
1. Can have another kids joining me cycling on road (trail? I've a doubt on stress limit on the seatpost due to lateral load). 
2. It can takes those who are still on training wheel a spin for a lesson on balancing.
3. Seeing the happy face of Haziq.
4. Lastly, with this extra load, it is a good training ground.

Father/daughter hash outing

KL Mountain Bike Hash: Bandar Tasik Putri

I asked (read: kindly forced) my daughter to come along for this hash. More for the reason a physical exercise she ever needs; secondly, as an avenue to catch with the silent one; lastly, sell the above points and gets my much needed cycling outing.

Spesh and Scott posed for the album

I rode rigid Spesh and daughter had her hands on all-the-best-parts Scott. After registered for Scenic Ride (renewed my membership too), off we headed to trailhead via row of houses.

Daughter on loose gravel

Long story short, she flat and broke her tears after 5km of cycling. The father looked like an idiot not knowing how to deal with the situation. Luckily a number of season cyclists and organizer lend hands, shared tips and Power Gel to deal with it.

We resumed cycling for another 2km and she fell due to improper braking on flat fire road. Handle bar took on her ribs, from the tears and cries, one would easily identify it as broken ribs. Much to my relieve, the pains subsided after 30 minutes but this time around she called it a day and chose to pillion ride Abang Hashim to RV point.

I cycled back to RV point via Scenic Ride and we have a nice ABC to celebrate whatever that we need to be celebrated.

Much needed ABC

My biggest thanks to BBB buddies and others who lend hands to this clueless father.

Daughter's first dish

My eldest is 10. For an arrangement that we had earlier on, she fried me an egg. Big deal? Of course! Previously she just successfully boils water ;)

She kinna late starter according to my wife. Well if you don't put a person into a situation, how would you know his/her capability.

I didn't realize to fry an egg do has an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) until I have to tell her the step by step (my client's nicest word to substitute the word SOP).

Standard Operating Procedure for frying an egg
1. Wash the pan
2. Fire up the stove (set to low)
3. Put the pan on the stove
4. Wait until the pan dry up
5. Put a sprinkle of cooking oil
6. Wait until pan heats up (this is the tricky part on determining the "recommended" heat)
7. While waiting for "6", crack open the egg's shell and put it in a small bowl
8. Put the egg onto the pan
9. Flip it after a while
10. Serve

The result!



Who said cooking is simple?
